Genetic Regulation of Bone Metabolism in the Chicken: Similarities and Differences to Mammalian Systems

Birds have a unique bone physiology, due to the demands placed on them through egg production. In particular their medullary bone serves as a source of calcium for eggshell production during lay and undergoes continuous and rapid remodelling. We take advantage of the fact that bone traits have diver...
