Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals genes related to the yolk ratio of duck eggs.

abstract：:Data integration is key to functional and comparative genomics because integration allows diverse data types to be evaluated in new contexts. To achieve data integration in a scalable and sensible way, semantic standards are needed, both for naming things (standardized nomenclatures, use of key words) and also for kno...
