  1. Top Biological Functions of DE genes associated with affected chickens from the sample population within this study provided by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA®). The P-value provided by this table was determined by IPA by comparing the number of genes found within each category (# of Genes) with the number of known genes within the IPA software system. The P-value for the “Top Canonical Pathways” is also determined by IPA in the same manner
