Rapid gene content turnover on the germline-restricted chromosome in songbirds

2022-03-08

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) of songbirds represents an extraordinary and taxonomically widespread example of programmed DNA elimination. Despite its apparent indispensability in songbirds, we still know very little about the GRC’s genetic composition, function, and evolutionary significance. Here we assembled the GRC in two closely related species, the common and thrush nig...
