The duck genome and transcriptome provide insight into an avian influenza virus reservoir species
9 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Ning Li and colleagues report the whole-genome sequence of the duck, Anas platyrhynchos, a natural host of avian influenza viruses. They examine host response to infection by comparing the lung transcriptomes of ducks that were infected with influenza A viruses. The duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is one of the principal natural hosts of influenza A viruses. We present the duck genome sequence and perform deep...
