The genomic landscape of short insertion and deletion polymorphisms in the chicken (Gallus gallus) Genome: a high frequency of deletions in tandem duplicates.

Abstract excerpt

It is increasingly recognized that insertions and deletions (indels) are an important source of genetic as well as phenotypic divergence and diversity. We analyzed length polymorphisms identified through partial (0.25x) shotgun sequencing of three breeds of domestic chicken made by the International Chicken Polymorphism Map Consortium. A data set of 140,484 short indel polymorphisms in unique DNA was identified...
