Abstract

This study reviews gene expression analysis techniques, including RNA sequencing and microarray analysis, to explore the molecular mechanisms of muscle development in broiler chickens. Using bioinformatics tools, several key genes regulating muscle development, growth factors, and hormone signals at different stages of muscle formation were identified, revealing their roles in promoting muscle fiber development and their potential applications in selective breeding. This study aims to provide insights into the genetic regulation of muscle traits in broiler chickens, provide opportunities for targeted gene manipulation to improve muscle yield, and offer future research directions.
