RNA-seq analysis of the kidneys of broiler chickens fed diets containing different concentrations of calcium

Abstract Calcium (Ca) is required for normal growth and is involved in cellular physiology, signal transduction, and bone mineralization. In humans, inadequate Ca intake causes hypocalcaemia, and excessive Ca intake causes hypercalcemia. In chicken, Ca is also required for body weight gain and eggsh...
