Derivation of embryonic stem cells across avian species

MainAvians, especially chickens, are crucial model organisms in developmental biology, virology, immunology, epigenetics, conservation biology and genomics related to domestication1,2,3. Moreover, the chicken model organism has enhanced our understanding of human diseases4.
