## Abstract We identified and characterized the chicken natriuretic peptide precursor gene cluster and found its organization to be highly conserved compared with the mammalian __Nppb‐Nppa__ cluster. However, phylogenetic analysis indicated that the putative chicken natriuretic peptide precursor ge
