This paper develops PCR-based techniques for early in ovo sexing and genotyping of chicken embryos, improving efficiency and ethical standards in animal research.

This study investigates the role of IL10 in avian mucosal immunity by generating IL10-deficient chickens, showing altered microbiome composition and enhanced pathogen clearance with increased inflammation.

FuChi is a new Fucci-based system in chickens that accurately tracks cell cycle phases in vivo, improving upon existing models by distinguishing all phases and enabling detailed developmental studies.

The paper generates a Netrin-1 fluorescent reporter chicken line to study molecular signatures during optic fissure closure and identifies new markers and pathways for developmental tissue fusion.
