Abstract

Biological resources are essential for the research using chickens and quails, particularly in the field of developmental biology. Various lines of chickens and quails with naturally occurring genetic mutations and diverse phenotypes have been developed. In addition, recent advances in establishing the genetic modification of cultured primordial germ cells (PGCs) with DNA transposons and the lentivirus-mediated transduction of PGCs in vivo and DNA transposons have been used to develop various transgenic chicken and quail lines. However, the relatively large body size of chickens and the need to maintain living animals due to the previous lack of reliable frozen stock methods until the development of cultivating methods of PGCs has caused a steady decline in the number of available lines globally. Several research facilities maintain chicken and quail lines and provide them for research purposes. This review describes the three main avian resource sites: The National Avian Research Facility at The Roslin Institute in the United Kingdom, Lyon Transgenic Quail Facility (MeLiS) in France, and Avian Bioscience Research Center at Nagoya University in Japan.

生物资源对利用鸡和鹌鹑进行研究至关重要，尤其是在发育生物学领域。目前已培育出各种具有自然发生的基因突变和不同表型的鸡和鹌鹑品系。此外，利用 DNA 转座子对培养的原始生殖细胞（PGCs）进行基因修饰，以及利用慢病毒介导的体内 PGCs 转导 DNA 转座子，这些最新进展已被用于开发各种转基因鸡和鹌鹑品系。然而，在开发出 PGCs 培育方法之前，由于鸡的体型相对较大，而且以前缺乏可靠的冷冻储存方法，因此需要维持活体动物，这导致全球可用品系的数量持续下降。一些研究机构维持着鸡和鹌鹑品系，并将其用于研究目的。本综述介绍了三个主要的禽类资源基地：英国罗斯林研究所的国家禽类研究设施、法国里昂转基因鹌鹑设施（MeLiS）和日本名古屋大学禽类生物科学研究中心。

期刊介绍： Developmental Biology (DB) publishes original research on mechanisms of development, differentiation, and growth in animals and plants at the molecular, cellular, genetic and evolutionary levels. Areas of particular emphasis include transcriptional control mechanisms, embryonic patterning, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and signal transduction, and regulatory hierarchies in developing plants and animals.
