Analysis On Differentially Expressed Genes Of Muscle Tissues In Rugao Chicken At The Ages Of 2 And 12 Weeks By Microarray, Qin De Luan, Guo Bin Chang, Ting Zhen, Zheng Yang Huang, Wei Zhou, Yan Liu, Guo Hong Chen

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Microarray containing 13319 probes was used to construct gene expression profiles in order to screendifferentially expressed genes of muscle tissues in Rugao chicken and investigate the molecular mechanism relatedwith muscle tissue traits at 2 and 12 weeks old of chicken. Two hundred and eight differentially expressed genes, ofwhich 108 were known genes, 94 up-regulated, 114 down-regulated were involved in growth, molecular mechanism,fat metabolism, cell proliferation, transcription and splicing factor, protein synthesis and degradation. Meanwhile,some genes of these differentially expressed genes that had no annotation in GenBank were screened out, they werepresumed to be unknown new genes. The differential expressions of …

piRNAs are a testis-specific class of small RNAs in mammal. Sixteen sequences of piRNAs were cloned fromthree different species by the method of construction of cDNA library including two sequences from mouse, eightsequences from quail and six sequences from chicken. Herein, the two piRNAs sequences from mouse had alreadybeen identified, while the others were cloned for the first time. The sequence analysis indicated that the avian piRNAshad a similar length and a preference of uridine for 5’-end with varying degrees to the mammalian piRNAs. Besidethe function in the process of sperm development and maturation, avian piRNAs may also have a …
