Darwin's Fancy Revised: An Updated Understanding of the Genomic Constitution of Pigeon Breeds.

Genome biology and evolution - 1 Mar 2020

Pacheco George, van Grouw Hein, Shapiro Michael D, Gilbert Marcus Thomas P, Vieira Filipe Garrett

Abstract excerpt

Through its long history of artificial selection, the rock pigeon (Columba livia Gmelin 1789) was forged into a large number of domestic breeds. The incredible amount of phenotypic diversity exhibited in these breeds has long held the fascination of scholars, particularly those interested in biological inheritance and evolution. However, exploiting them as a model system is challenging, as unlike with many other...
