Chicken has an impaired innate immune system compared with mammals. Some key innate immune genes, such as Retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), Toll like receptor 8 (TLR8), Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) and IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), are inactivated or missing due to DNA Insertion, gene partial deletion, or gene total deletion. A predicted N-terminal deleted chicken Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (chcGAS) gene, which is proven as the most essential cytosolic DNA sensor in other species, be obtained from the GenBank database. The large fragment deletion makes the sequence accuracy and functional integrity of the predicted chcGAS open to dispute. Here, the exact chcGAS gene was first experimentally determined by 5 ' and 3 ' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR, which specifically lacked 83 amino acids in the DNA binding domain. In addition, the conservation and feasibility of cGAS-STING signaling among different species were conducted by bioinformatics to explore the possibility of the existence of the conserved pathway in chickens. The basic characteristics of the chcGAS, such as macroscopic and microscopic distribution patterns of chcGAS have been studied. In order to better research the function of chGAS, a chcGAS knockout chicken cell line has been generated by CRISPR/CAS9. Together, chicken owns an N-terminal deleted cGAS gene, and more experimental evidences are urgently needed to verify the functional integrity of chcGAS.
