Journal ArticleDOI

The duck genome and transcriptome provide insight into an avian influenza virus reservoir species

TL;DR: The duck genome sequence and deep transcriptome analyses are presented and it is shown how the duck's defense mechanisms against influenza infection have been optimized through the diversification of its β-defensin and butyrophilin-like repertoires.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Mapping of DNA Methylation in Chicken

TL;DR: The genome-wide DNA methylation map of bird is shown, using the chicken as a model organism and an immunocapturing approach followed by high-throughput sequencing to contribute to the understanding of epigenetics in birds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Association Study of Body Weight in Chicken F2 Resource Population

TL;DR: A chicken chromosome 4 region approximately 8.6 Mb in length had a large number of significant SNP effects for late growth during weeks 7–12 and the LIM domain-binding factor 2 (LDB2) gene had the strongest association with body weight for weeks 7-12 and with average daily gain for weeks 6–12.
Journal ArticleDOI

Further evidence for paternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA in the sheep (Ovis aries).

TL;DR: The mitochondrial DNA of 172 sheep from 48 families were typed by using PCR-RFLP, direct amplification of the repeated sequence domain and sequencing analysis, providing direct evidence of paternal inheritance of mitochondria DNA in sheep.
