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.

This study identifies miR-2954 as a male-essential microRNA critical for avian sex chromosome dosage compensation, showing its role in balancing gene expression in males and females.

The paper describes a low-tech method for cryopreserving chicken embryonic gonads to conserve genetic diversity for poultry breeding.

This paper introduces a method to transfer genetic alleles between chicken breeds using SDS mating to create pure breeds with desired traits.
