Note: Values in a line without a common uppercase mean that the relative quantities of the CAPN3gene differ significantly (P <0.01).Expression data were based on Sichuan Mountainous Black-boned chicken (MB) and were normalized to the endogenous ACTBexpression in the same tissue.

Note: Values in a column without a common lowercase mean that the relative quantities of the CAPN3gene in a tissue at different growth points differ significantly (P < 0.05). Expression data were based on Sichuan Mountainous Black-boned chicken (MB) and were normalized to the endogenous ACTBexpression in the same tissue.The expression level of the CAPN3 genein different tissues at 12weeks was arbitrarily setto 1.0.
