Identification of differentially expressed genes in breast muscle and skin fat of postnatal Pekin duck.

Lean-type Pekin duck is a commercial breed that has been obtained through long-term selection. Investigation of the differentially expressed genes in breast muscle and skin fat at different developmental stages will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the potential mechanisms underlying t...
