Journal ArticleDOI

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

Butterfly genome reveals promiscuous exchange of mimicry adaptations among species

Kanchon K. Dasmahapatra, +83 more
- 05 Jul 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is inferred that closely related Heliconius species exchange protective colour-pattern genes promiscuously, implying that hybridization has an important role in adaptive radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics reveals insights into avian genome evolution and adaptation.

Guojie Zhang, +106 more
- 12 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: This work explored bird macroevolution using full genomes from 48 avian species representing all major extant clades to reveal that pan-avian genomic diversity covaries with adaptations to different lifestyles and convergent evolution of traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome of the marsupial Monodelphis domestica reveals innovation in non-coding sequences

Tarjei S. Mikkelsen, +238 more
- 10 May 2007 - 
TL;DR: A high-quality draft of the genome sequence of the grey, short-tailed opossum is reported, indicating a strong influence of biased gene conversion on nucleotide sequence composition, and a relationship between chromosomal characteristics and X chromosome inactivation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome analysis of the platypus reveals unique signatures of evolution

Wesley C. Warren, +104 more
- 08 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is found that reptile and platypus venom proteins have been co-opted independently from the same gene families; milk protein genes are conserved despite platypuses laying eggs; and immune gene family expansions are directly related to platypUS biology.
