Genetic determinism and inheritance of differential DNA methylation profiles across three successive generations in quail.

This study examines how DNA methylation profiles change across three generations in quails exposed to genistein, finding that while methylation differences accumulate, genetic factors largely explain these changes.

Transmission of an environmental modification in quails across three generations: changes in the contribution to phenotypic variability

The paper examines phenotypic variability across three generations of quails subjected to an initial environmental modification, finding increased epiline contribution to traits like body weight.

New chromosome-level haplotyped genome assemblies and annotation for the Japanese Quail (Coturnix Japonica)

The paper presents new chromosome-level haplotyped genome assemblies for the Japanese quail, improving contiguity and completeness compared to previous references.

Molecular responses of chicken embryos to maternal heat stress through DNA methylation and gene expression

This study investigates how maternal heat stress affects DNA methylation and gene expression in chicken embryos, identifying key genes and methylation sites associated with heat tolerance.

The quail as an avian model system: its genome provides insights into social behaviour, seasonal biology and infectious disease response

The paper presents a high-quality quail genome and uses it to study social behavior, photoperiodism, and immune response to H5N1 influenza.

Genome-wide characterization of RNA editing in chicken: lack of evidence for non-A-to-I events

The paper characterizes RNA editing in chicken, finding limited non-A-to-I events and highlighting evolutionary conservation of A-to-I editing.
