  1. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) was used for functional annotation and mapping of 2026 “Analysis Ready” DE genes identified by RNA-Seq analysis of abdominal fat in four HG and four LG cockerels at 7 wk. These tissue samples were from the same HG and LG birds used for microarray analysis at this age
