A jungle fowl of southeastern Asia that is considered ancestral to the domestic fowl.
1In both of the red jungle fowl and the avian broiler, DNA methylation was described separately for the liver and muscle tissue.
2Line 1, with Red Jungle Fowl genes, was clearly differentiated from the other two investigated lines.
3Line 1 further contains the BW1 haplotype isolated from a Red Jungle Fowl.
4Approximately 75% of the CNVs are copy number losses relatively to the Red Jungle Fowl reference genome.
5We observed that structural variation contributes to genetic differentiation among current domesticated chicken breeds and the Red Jungle Fowl.
