DNA methylome in spleen of avian pathogenic escherichia coli-challenged broilers and integration with mRNA expression

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are responsible for heavy economic losses in poultry industry. Here we investigate DNA methylome of spleen and identify functional DNA methylation changes related to host response to APEC among groups of non-challenged chickens (NC), challenged with mild (MD)...
