Expression analysis of the NUDT15 gene. a Tissue expression profiles of the NUDT15 gene in E10-old AA chickens. b Tissue expression profiles of the NUDT15 gene in 2-week-old AA chickens. c and d Spatiotemporal expression of the NUDT15 gene in leg muscle tissue of AA broiler and Lushi chickens. e and f Expression pattern of chicken NUDT15 mRNA for various genotypes of NUDT15–2777-indel and NUDT15–1673-indel (n = 6). Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Statistical significance of differences between means was assessed using independent sample t test. ^∗p < 0.05, ^∗∗p < 0.01
