The sequence and de novo assembly of the giant panda genome

Ruiqiang Li, +126 more
- 21 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: Using next-generation sequencing technology alone, a draft sequence of the giant panda genome is generated and assembled, indicating that its bamboo diet might be more dependent on its gut microbiome than its own genetic composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of cellulose metabolism by the giant panda gut microbiome

TL;DR: The presence of putative cellulose-digesting microbes, in combination with adaptations related to feeding, physiology, and morphology, show that giant pandas have evolved a number of traits to overcome the anatomical and physiological challenge of digesting a diet high in fibrous matter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular censusing doubles giant panda population estimate in a key nature reserve

TL;DR: Here, for the first time, an exhaustive non-invasive genetic survey of giant pandas in a key reserve is conducted and it is found that the molecular census was double that previously estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Permanent Genetic Resources added to Molecular Ecology Resources Database 1 October 2009–30 November 2009

Junghwa An, +105 more
TL;DR: The addition of 411 microsatellite marker loci and 15 pairs of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) sequencing primers to the Molecular Ecology Resources Database are documents.
