Transcriptome analysis of the uterus of hens laying eggs differing in cuticle deposition

Abstract Background Avian eggs have a proteinaceous cuticle. The quantity of cuticle varies and the deposition of a good cuticle in the uterus (Shell-gland) prevents transmission of bacteria to the egg contents. Results To understand cuticle deposition, uterus transcriptomes were compared between he...
