A new duck genome reveals conserved and convergently evolved chromosome architectures of birds and mammals

2020-11-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Ducks have a typical avian karyotype that consists of macro- and microchromosomes, but a pair of much less differentiated ZW sex chromosomes compared to chicken. To elucidate the evolution of chromosome architectures between duck and chicken, and between birds and mammals, we produced a nearly complete chromosomal assembly of a female Pekin duck by combining long-read sequencing and multiplatf...
