Integrated RNA-seq and ATAC-seq analyses reveal muscle development differences between european meat pigeon and shiqi pigeon during embryonic to post-hatching stages

Poultry muscle growth and development critically depend on skeletal muscle formation during embryonic and hatching stages. However, early embryonic muscle development differences between pigeon breeds remain unclear. We used European meat pigeons and Shiqi pigeons, which differ in body size, as models. Pectoral muscles...
