Today’s red jungle fowl — the wild forebears of the domesticated chicken — are becoming more chickenlike. New research suggests that a large proportion of the wild fowl’s DNA has been inherited from ...

Feathers may define birds today, but their story began millions of years ago in creatures that looked very different from modern avians. A new study has just pushed the boundary of evolutionary ...

The red junglefowl—the wild ancestor of the chicken—is losing its genetic diversity by interbreeding with domesticated birds, according to a new study led by Frank Rheindt of the National University ...

An international team of researchers led by Professor Huaijun Zhou from the UC Davis Department of Animal Science has created the first-ever detailed map of how genes are regulated in chickens—a ...

Chickens are one of the most important livestock globally, serving not only as a primary source of high-quality protein for humans but also carrying unique genetic characteristics across different ...

AMES, Iowa – Animal science faculty members at Iowa State University are studying the genetic makeup of chickens in Africa in an effort to improve nutrition and alleviate food scarcity across the ...
