Transcriptome analysis reveals the molecular mechanism of inosine monophosphate-specific deposition in chicken muscle

In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on the breast and leg muscles of caged Jingyuan hens, the breast muscles of caged Jingyuan roosters, and the breast muscles of free-range Jingyuan chickens and Pudong hens (slow-growing local native chickens with excellent meat quality), and multiple DEGs and metabolic pathways were screened in different comparative groups closely related to IMP anabolic processes.
