Epigenetic Regulation of Immune Responses in Chickens: Mechanisms, Host–Pathogen Interactions, and Emerging Genomic Technologies
Epigenetic regulation has emerged as a fundamental mechanism governing immune function in poultry by integrating genetic, environmental, nutritional, and microbial signals without altering the DNA sequence. Recent advances in epigenomics have revealed that DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin remodeling, a...
