Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-genome resequencing reveals loci under selection during chicken domestication
Carl-Johan Rubin,Michael C. Zody,Michael C. Zody,Jonas Eriksson,Jennifer R. S. Meadows,Ellen Sherwood,Matthew T. Webster,Liang Jiang,Max Ingman,Ted Sharpe,Sojeong Ka,Finn Hallböök,Francois Besnier,Örjan Carlborg,Bertrand Bed'Hom,Michèle Tixier-Boichard,Per Jensen,Paul B. Siegel,Kerstin Lindblad-Toh,Kerstin Lindblad-Toh,Leif Andersson,Leif Andersson +21 more
TL;DR: The authors used massively parallel sequencing to identify selective sweeps of favorable alleles and candidate mutations that have had a prominent role in the domestication of domestic chickens and their subsequent specialization into broiler (meat-producing) and layer (egg-consuming) chickens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copy number variation in intron 1 of SOX5 causes the Pea-comb phenotype in chickens.

TL;DR: The study provides novel insight into the nature of mutations that contribute to phenotypic evolution and is the first description of a spontaneous and fully viable mutation in this developmentally important gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved canine genome and a comprehensive catalogue of coding genes and non-coding transcripts.

TL;DR: An improved genome build, canFam3.1, is presented and a much-improved annotation of the canine genome is provided and regulatory functions for several of the novel non-coding transcripts are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Five Ovine Mitochondrial Lineages Identified From Sheep Breeds of the Near East
Jennifer R. S. Meadows,Jennifer R. S. Meadows,Ibrahim Cemal,Orhan Karaca,Elisha Gootwine,James Kijas +5 more
TL;DR: The identification in this study of evidence for additional domestication events adds to the emerging view that sheep were recruited from wild populations multiple times in the same way as for other livestock species such as goat, cattle, and pig.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is found that regions of reduced genetic diversity are more abundant in species at a high risk of extinction, discern signals of evolutionary selection at high resolution and provide insights from individual reference genomes.
