Immunoglobulin is an essential component of the body's defense against pathogens, aiding in the recognition and clearance of foreign antigens. Research concerning immunoglobulin gene and its diversity of expression across different breeds within the same species is relatively scarce. In this study, we employed RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) technology, prepared DNA libraries, performed high-throughput sequencing, and conducted related bioinformatics analysis to analyze the differences in immunoglobulin gene diversity and expression at different periods in Hy-line brown hens, Lueyang black-bone chickens, and Beijing-You chickens...
