An allelic series at the EDNRB2 locus controls diverse piebalding patterns in the domestic pigeon

Emily T. Maclary, Ryan Wauer, Bridget Phillips, Audrey Brown, Elena F. Boer, Atoosa M. Samani, Michael D. Shapiro

The paper identifies a locus, EDNRB2, associated with piebalding patterns in domestic pigeons, showing how genetic variation at this locus generates diverse pigment patterns.

A ROR2 coding variant is associated with craniofacial variation in domestic pigeons

Elena F. Boer, Hannah F. Van Hollebeke, Emily T. Maclary, Carson Holt, Mark D. Yandell, Michael D. Shapiro

The paper identifies a ROR2 coding variant associated with short beak morphology in domestic pigeons, linking it to craniofacial variation through QTL mapping and genomic analysis.

Pigeon foot feathering reveals conserved limb identity networks

Elena F. Boer, Hannah F. Van Hollebeke, Sungdae Park, Carlos R. Infante, Douglas B. Menke, Michael D. Shapiro

The paper identifies gene expression changes downstream of PITX1 and TBX5 that drive partial forelimb identity in pigeon hindlimbs, revealing conserved limb identity networks across amniotes.
