Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence and comparative analysis of the chicken genome provide unique perspectives on vertebrate evolution

LaDeana W. Hillier, +174 more
- 09 Dec 2004 - 
TL;DR: A draft genome sequence of the red jungle fowl, Gallus gallus, provides a new perspective on vertebrate genome evolution, while also improving the annotation of mammalian genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsatellites: simple sequences with complex evolution

TL;DR: Few genetic markers, if any, have found such widespread use as microsatellites, or simple/short tandem repeats, but features such as hypervariability and ubiquitous occurrence explain their usefulness, but these features also pose several questions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple and universal method for molecular sexing of non-ratite birds

TL;DR: A universal method for molecular sexing of non-ratite birds which is based on the detection of a constant size difference between CHD1W andCHD1Z introns is described, successfully sexing 47 of the species.
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

The genome of a songbird

Wesley C. Warren, +81 more
- 01 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: This work shows that song behaviour engages gene regulatory networks in the zebra finch brain, altering the expression of long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs, transcription factors and their targets and shows evidence for rapid molecular evolution in the songbird lineage of genes that are regulated during song experience.
