Spatio-temporal transcriptome dynamics coordinate rapid transition of core crop functions in ‘lactating’ pigeon

Pigeons (Columba livia) are among a select few avian species that have developed a specialized reproductive mode wherein the parents produce a ‘milk’ in their crop to feed newborn squabs. Nonetheless, the transcriptomic dynamics and role in the rapid transition of core crop functions during ‘lactati...
