Ingenuity Pathway Analysis of DE Genes in Abdominal Fat of FL and LL Cockerels (7 wk).

A total of 1687 differentially-expressed (DE) genes from RNA-Seq analysis were submitted to IPA, which provided 1322 “Analysis Ready” DE genes for functional annotation and mapping to canonical pathways and gene interaction networks. P-values were determined by IPA software using Fisher’s Exact Test as described by Ingenuity. The percent overlap and ratio were calculated for the number of observed genes compared to the number of known genes in the Ingenuity Knowledge Base for that category. Adipose genes with positive expression ratios are expressed at higher levels in FL cockerels, whereas genes with negative expression ratios are more abundant in abdominal fat of the LL.Ingenuity Pathway Analysis of DE Genes in Abdominal Fat of FL and LL Cockerels (7 wk).
