Abstract
The purpose of this work is to show that the genetic diversity of chicken breeds is manifested not
only at the external phenotypic level, but also at the genetic level in the form of different levels
of bioconsolidation of the expression of myogenesis genes in birds.
To demonstrate this effect, a mathematical technique was developed based on constructing a
fractal portrait of gene expression and calculating the index of fractal bioconsolidation of gene expression,
which reflects the fractal features of the location of genes in a fractal portrait.
The technique is illustrated by data on the expression of myogenesis genes of several meat and
egg-bearing breeds of chickens.
Thus, it was shown that the index of fractal bioconsolidation of myogenesis gene expression correlates
(among the chicken breeds considered) with the intensity of chicken weight gain and NO release,
which demonstrates the increased efficiency of biochemical and genetic processes in chicken
organisms with a high level of fractal bioconsolidation of myogenesis gene expression.
