Thermal manipulation of the chicken embryo triggers differential gene expression in response to a later heat challenge

Table 1 Numbers of differentially expressed genes (DE) in the Pectoralis major muscle in each comparison

Differentially expressed genes	TM/C	CHC/C	TMHC/TM
Upregulated	17	60	417
Downregulated	11	68	342
Total	28	128	759

Chickens incubated and reared in standard conditions (Controls, C), thermally manipulated during embryogenesis and reared in standard conditions (TM), incubated in standard conditions and exposed to heat challenge at d 34 (CHC) or thermally manipulated during embryogenesis and exposed to heat challenge at d 34 (TMHC)
