Fast-growing modern broilers are susceptible to cardiac arrhythmia and heart failure. To understand the developmental regulation related to these problems, cardiac gene expression in Illinois and Ross broilers was investigated at 6 and 21 days post hatch (dph) using RNA-seq (n=5-6 for each group). Because Illinois is a legacy broiler line with isometric heart growth, and Ross is a modern broiler line with a negative allometric heart growth, comparison of gene expression between the two lines and the two time points provides an avenue to understand genetic regulation underlying their different cardiac development.
