Correction: Endogenous Retrovirus EAV-HP Linked to Blue Egg Phenotype in Mapuche Fowl
ثبت نشده
چکیده
There is an error in the sequence length calculation in the second sentence of the first paragraph of the ‘‘Sequencing confirms the insertion to be EAV-HP integration’’ section in the Results. The correct sentence is: Identical host integration sites (/ Gga1/:67,324,624) and DNA sequences (4,250 bp) are found for the South American and European chickens. There is an error in the last sentence of the second paragraph of the ‘‘Sequencing confirms the insertion to be EAV-HP integration’’ section in the Results. The value was reported as a fraction, rather than a percentage. The correct sentence is: Aligning our EAV-HP Dongxiang sequence to that of Wang et al. ([14]; GenBank accession no: JF837512) identified 5 polymorphisms (C940G, T943-, G944-, G945-, and A2544C) resulting in a sequence divergence of 0.119%; the alignment is also included in the supplementary information (Sequence S3).

Endogenous Retrovirus EAV-HP Linked to Blue Egg Phenotype in Mapuche Fowl
Oocyan or blue/green eggshell colour is an autosomal dominant trait found in native chickens (Mapuche fowl) of Chile and in some of their descendants in European and North American modern breeds. We report here the identification of an endogenous avian retroviral (EAV-HP) insertion in oocyan Mapuche fowl and European breeds. Sequencing data reveals 100% retroviral identity between the Mapuche a...
متن کاملIntact EAV-HP endogenous retrovirus in Sonnerat's jungle fowl.
The EAV-HP group of chicken endogenous retrovirus elements was previously shown to be defective, with large deletions of the pol gene. In this report, we demonstrate that genomes of other Gallus species also maintain EAV-HP elements with similar deletions. The chicken EAV-HP1 locus was detected in both red (Gallus gallus gallus) and Sonnerat's (Gallus sonneratii) jungle fowl with identical inte...
متن کاملSegregation of EAV-HP ancient endogenous retroviruses within the chicken population.
Avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J), an exogenous avian retrovirus, is thought to have evolved by recombination with the highly identical env gene of the endogenous avian retrovirus EAV-HP. Embryonic expression of EAV-HP env has been suggested to be associated with the induction of immunological tolerance, a feature observed in a significant proportion of meat-type chickens infected with AL...
متن کاملAssessing the roles of endogenous retrovirus EAV-HP in avian leukosis virus subgroup J emergence and tolerance.
Avian leukosis virus (ALV) subgroup J is thought to have emerged through a recombination event between an unknown exogenous ALV and the endogenous retrovirus elements designated EAV-HP. All EAV-HP elements identified to date in the chicken genome show large deletions, including that of the entire pol gene. Here we report the identification of four segregating chicken EAV-HP proviruses with comp...
متن کاملAn EAV-HP Insertion in 5′ Flanking Region of SLCO1B3 Causes Blue Eggshell in the Chicken
The genetic determination of eggshell coloration has not been determined in birds. Here we report that the blue eggshell is caused by an EAV-HP insertion that promotes the expression of SLCO1B3 gene in the uterus (shell gland) of the oviduct in chicken. In this study, the genetic map location of the blue eggshell gene was refined by linkage analysis in an F(2) chicken population, and four candi...
