Abstract:Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the differential expression of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene region in <i>Eimeria</i>-infected broiler.Methods: We profiled gene expression of <i>Eimeria</i>-infected and uninfected ceca of broilers sampled at 4, 7, and 21 days post-infection (dpi) using RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between two sample groups were identified at each time point. DEGs located on chicken chromosome 16 were used for… Show more
