Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fur is an important genetically-determined characteristic of domestic rabbits; rabbit furs are of great economic value. We used the Solexa sequencing technology to assess gene expression in skin tissues from full-sib Rex rabbits of different phenotypes in order to explore the molecular mechanisms associated with fur determination. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Transcriptome analysis included de novo...
