赛鸽及食用鸽视网膜的转录差异分析

It is believed pigeons are can use geomagnetic field information in the navigation process. Usually, only the artificial cultivation and training of pigeons have a strong homing behavior and navigation capabilities, and ordinary edible pigeons can't navigate homing. Behavioral experiments show that pigeon lost their ability to sense magnetic fields under red light. The transcriptome gene was used to study the difference of retinal gene expression between athletic pigeon and red light conditions athletic pigeon, while the common pigeon used to reference. 37 genes were screened, the gene function and the signal pathway were analyzed by the gene ontology database and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database. Reverse transcription PCR was used to detect the expression of different genes in the main tissues of pigeons. The study found that differences in gene enrichment in cell adhesion, metabolism and other pathway, indicating that red light treatment of pigeons may have a greater impact.
