Functional genes identified by RNA-Seq analysis of abdominal fat in FL and LL cockerels at 7 wk.

<p>Comparison of highest-expressed (HE) and differentially-expressed (DE) genes identified by RNA-Seq analysis in abdominal fat of FL and LL chickens. Adipose genes with positive fold-change (FL/LL) values are expressed higher in the FL, while genes with a negative fold-change are expressed higher in LL chickens. Paired-end sequence reads for each gene were averaged across both genotypes (4 FL and 4 LL). The reads threshold for highest expressed (HE) genes was >4289 reads/gene.</p><p>Functional genes identified by RNA-Seq analysis of abdominal fat in FL and LL cockerels at 7 wk.
