Genome-Wide Patterns of Genetic Variation in Two Domestic Chickens
Domestic chickens are excellent models for investigating the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity, as numerous phenotypic changes in physiology, morphology, and behavior in chickens have been artificially selected. Genomic study is required to study genome-wide patterns of DNA variation for dissecting the genetic basis of phenotypic traits. We sequenced the genomes of the Silkie and the Taiwan...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Mycoplasma pullorum Isolated from Domestic Chickens
The 1,007,172-bp complete genome of Mycoplasma pullorum strain B359_6, isolated from domestic chickens, has been sequenced, assembled, and annotated.
متن کاملCorrigendum: Genome sequences of wild and domestic bactrian camels
Bactrian camels serve as an important means of transportation in the cold desert regions of China and Mongolia. Here we present a 2.01 Gb draft genome sequence from both a wild and a domestic bactrian camel. We estimate the camel genome to be 2.38 Gb, containing 20,821 protein-coding genes. Our phylogenomics analysis reveals that camels shared common ancestors with other even-toed ungulates abo...
متن کاملThe magnetic compass of domestic chickens
In a recent paper, we showed that domestic chickens can be trained to search for a social stimulus in specific magnetic directions. Chickens can hardly fly and have only small home ranges, hence their having a functional magnetic compass may seem rather surprising. Yet considering the natural habitat of their ancestors and their lifestyle until recently, the advantages of a magnetic compass bec...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of the Wild Tomato Species, Solanum pimpinellifolium
We have heard about developments in genome sequencing of key Solanaceae family members, but now it is the wild species turn. Wild species provide a rich resource of genetic diversity and have been integral parts of breeding programs, especially for tomato. The following two articles highlight recent developments in the sequencing of two tomato wild species, Solanum pimpinellifolium, the closest...
