Predicted functional effects of differential expression in Fayoumi and broiler. Significant associations (−log(p-value) > 1.3) to potential gene functions were identified using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) and z-scores were used to predict activation (z-score ≥ 2; orange) or inhibition (z-score ≤ − 2; blue) of each function. A subset of highly impacted functions are shown (|z-score| ≥ 5 or |z-scores| ≥ 2 in at least 2 comparisons). All activated or inhibited functions predicted for each comparison are given in Additional file 5. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
