3'UTR-Seq analysis of chicken abdominal adipose tissue reveals widespread intron retention in 3'UTR and provides insight into molecular basis of feed efficiency.

Feed efficiency (FE) is an important trait in the broiler industry due to its direct correlation to efficient muscle growth instead of fat deposition. The present study characterized and compared gene expression profiles in abdominal fat from broiler chickens of different FE levels to enhance the un...
