Comparative and population genomics analyses of eared pheasants inhabiting highly varying altitudes

The paper compares genome sequences and genetic variations of three eared pheasant species at different altitudes to identify adaptation mechanisms.

Large scale loss-of-function mutations during chicken evolution and domestication

The paper identifies widespread loss-of-function mutations in chicken genomes during evolution and domestication, showing non-random patterns and selection-driven gene loss.

Annotations of four high-quality indigenous chicken genomes identify more than one thousand missing genes in sub-telomeric regions with high G/C contents

The paper annotates four high-quality chicken genomes, identifying over 1,400 missing genes in sub-telomeric regions with high G/C content that were previously absent from reference annotations.

High-quality genome assembly of a white eared pheasant individual and related functional and genetics data resources

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the white-eared pheasant and related transcriptome and population genetics data.

Artificial selection footprints in domestic chicken genomes

This study identifies numerous selective sweeps and genes under artificial selection in indigenous and commercial chickens using re-sequencing and statistical analysis.
