Pituitary whole transcriptome analysis reveals key genes regulating reproduction in Hy-Line Brown hens and the construction of their ceRNA molecular regulatory network

Abstract Background The development and egg-laying performance of hens are precisely regulated by hormones secreted by the pituitary. In this study, we performed comprehensive transcriptome sequencing of pituitary from Hy-Line Brown hens at 15, 20, 30 and 68 W of age. Through association analysis, w...
