Lineage-specific expansion/contraction of protein-coding gene families. a Flow chart of expansion/contraction analysis of protein-coding gene families in the chicken breast muscle. The deeper purple border indicates a later emergence time of the species. b Distribution and functional enrichment analysis of genes expressed in chicken breast muscle in various vertebrates (c) and species that predate the appearance of chicken. d Distribution of the number of genes present in all studied species (upper and core genes) and that of genes present only in chicken (lower, special genes). e Heatmap showing the total expression of lineage-specific genes between AA broiler and LS chicken
