Avian Genomes Revisited: Hidden Genes Uncovered and the Rates versus Traits Paradox in Birds.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Dec 2017

Botero-Castro Fidel, Figuet Emeric, Tilak Marie-Ka, Nabholz Benoit, Galtier Nicolas

Abstract excerpt

According to current assemblies, avian genomes differ from those of the other lineages of amniotes in 1) containing a lower number of genes; 2) displaying a high stability of karyotype and recombination map; and 3) lacking any correlation between evolutionary rates (dN/dS) and life-history traits, unlike mammals and nonavian reptiles. We question the reality of the bird missing genes and investigate whether...
