In last 100 years or so, much information has been accumulated on avian karyology, genetics, physiology, biochemistry and evolution. The chicken genome project generated genomic resources used in comparative studies, elucidating fundamental evolutionary processes, much of it funded by the economic importance of domestic fowl (which are also excellent model species in many areas). Studying karyotypes and whole genome sequences revealed population processes, evolutionary biology, and genome function, uncovering the role of repetitive sequences, transposable elements and gene family expansion.

Objective: The remarkable adaptability to the environment, high growth rate, meat with good taste and aroma, and ornamental appearance of the Pradu Hang Dam (PDH) and Samae Dam (SD) chickens make them valuable for improvement of poultry production to enhance food security. However, despite their close phenotypic similarity, distinct classification of PDH and SD chickens remains controversial. Thus, this study aimed to clarify genetic origins and variation between PDH and SD chickens, genetic diversity and structures of PDH and SD chickens.

High levels of purine and uric acid, which are associated with health issues such as gout and cardiovascular disease, are found in the meat of fast-growing broiler chickens, which raises concerns about the quality of chicken meat and the health of the consumers who consume it. High genetic homogeneity and uniformity, particularly in genes involved in the synthesis of inosine monophosphate (IMP) and subsequent process of purine synthesis, which are associated with the meat quality, are exhibited in commercial broiler chickens owing to intensive inbreeding programs. Adenosine succinate lyase (ADSL) is a key enzyme involved in de novo purine biosynthetic pathway and its genetic polymorphisms affect IMP metabolism and purine content.

Article Synopsis
- - Lao Pa Koi (LPK) chickens are a prized fighting breed in Thailand, known for their unique genetics derived from the combination of red junglefowls and domestic chickens, analyzed through microsatellite markers and mitochondrial DNA.
- - The study found high genetic diversity in LPK chickens, identifying six mtDNA haplotypes and 182 microsatellite alleles, confirming their mixed genetic heritage.
- - A spatial analysis revealed that the majority of the studied area is unsuitable for LPK chickens, with optimal elevation for their distribution being between 100-250 meters, highlighting important factors for their habitat and future breeding improvements.
