Genotyping microarrays are an important resource for genetic mapping, population genetics,
and monitoring of the genetic integrity of laboratory stocks. We have developed the third …

Nutrient deposits in the fertile egg affect broiler embryo development and hatchling quality.
Although the fertile egg has a defined nutrient composition, the rate and mechanism of …

In the present study, we examined the composition, amount, and uptake of yolk nutrients [fat,
protein, water, and carbohydrates (COH)] during incubation of eggs from 30- and 50-wk-old …

The yolk sac membrane plays a major role in the transport of nutrients from the yolk contents
to the chick embryo. We examined whether the yolk sac membrane expresses genes for …

Chick embryos derive nutrients from the yolk during incubation and transition to intestinal
absorption of nutrients posthatch. The uptake of nutrients is mediated by a variety of membrane-…

Significant departures from expected Mendelian inheritance ratios (transmission ratio
distortion, TRD) are frequently observed in both experimental crosses and natural populations. …

… In the current study we present quantities of lipids in the yolk + YS because according to
Yadgary et al. [7], estimating utilization of nutrients by the embryo is more accurate if calculated …

Glycogen and glucose concentrations (mg/g of tissue) and amounts (mg) were determined
in the yolks of fertile eggs on the day of set and in the yolk sac (YS) and liver of broiler chick …

The capacity of yolk sac (YS) utilization by the chick embryo may be affected by structural
changes in the YS membrane (YSM) and by the mechanisms within its cells for digestion, …

A selective sweep is the result of strong positive selection driving newly occurring or standing
genetic variants to fixation, and can dramatically alter the pattern and distribution of allelic …
