Whole-genome analyses resolve early branches in the tree of life of modern birds

Erich D. Jarvis, +116 more
- 12 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis of 48 species representing all orders of Neoaves recovered a highly resolved tree that confirms previously controversial sister or close relationships and identifies the first divergence in Neoaves, two groups the authors named Passerea and Columbea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coordinated international action to accelerate genome-to-phenome with FAANG, the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes project

TL;DR: The organization of a nascent international effort, the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes (FAANG) project, whose aim is to produce comprehensive maps of functional elements in the genomes of domesticated animal species is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origin and evolution of avian microchromosomes.

TL;DR: Comparative gene mapping between the genomes of chicken, human, mouse and zebrafish is used to investigate the origin and evolution of avian microchromosomes and reveals evidence for four ancient syntenies conserved in fish, birds and mammals for over 400 million years.
