Liver Transcriptome Response to Hyperthermia Stress in Three Distinct Chicken Lines
We investigated the effects of heat stress on the liver transcriptome of 3wk-old chicks of a broiler line, the Fayoumi and an advanced intercross line (AIL). Transcriptome sequencing of 48 male chickens using Illumina HiSeq 2500 technology yielded an average of 3.4 million, 100-base -pair single-end, reads per sample.
