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
Identification of the Yellow Skin Gene Reveals a Hybrid Origin of the Domestic Chicken
Jonas K Eriksson,Greger Larson,Ulrika Gunnarsson,Bertrand Bed'Hom,Michèle Tixier-Boichard,Lina Strömstedt,Dominic Wright,Annemieke P Jungerius,Addie Vereijken,Ettore Randi,Per Jensen,Leif Andersson,Leif Andersson +12 more
TL;DR: Surprisingly, the results demonstrate that yellow skin does not originate from the red junglefowl, the presumed sole wild ancestor of the domestic chicken, but most likely from the closely related grey Junglefowl (Gallus sonneratii).
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical Evaluation of Genetic Clustering Methods Using Multilocus Genotypes From 20 Chicken Breeds
Noah A. Rosenberg,Terry Burke,Kari Elo,Marcus W. Feldman,Paul J. Freidlin,Martien A. M. Groenen,Jossi Hillel,Asko Mäki-Tanila,Michèle Tixier-Boichard,Alain Vignal,Klaus Wimmers,Steffen Weigend +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that in species for which population structure is of interest, databases of multilocus genotypes at highly variable markers should be compiled and these genotypes could be used as training samples for genetic cluster analysis and to facilitate assignments of individuals of unknown origin to populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity of 52 chicken populations assessed by microsatellite typing of DNA pools
Jossi Hillel,Martien A. M. Groenen,Michèle Tixier-Boichard,Abraham B. Korol,Lior David,Valery Kirzhner,Terry Burke,Asili Barre-Dirie,Richard P. M. A. Crooijmans,Kari Elo,Marcus W. Feldman,Paul J. Freidlin,Asko Mäki-Tanila,Marian Oortwijn,Pippa Thomson,Alain Vignal,Klaus Wimmers,Steffen Weigend +17 more
TL;DR: The distribution of population-specific (private) alleles and the amount of genetic variation shared among populations supports the hypothesis that the red jungle fowl is the main progenitor of the domesticated chicken.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
