Differential gene expression profiles between embryonic tissues of the Brazilian broiler (TT) and layer (CC) lines. (A) Heatmap built based on the 50 most significantly up- and downregulated DEGs between broilers and layers. Genes and samples were clustered into rows and columns, respectively. Upregulated DEGs (red); downregulated DEGs (blue). (B) Volcano plot generated from the set of expressed genes (16.436 genes). The X-axis displays the relative expression as log2-fold change, and the Y-axis shows the log10 FDR corrected p-value. DEGs are denoted as red dots
