A New Chicken Genome Assembly Provides Insight into Avian Genome Structure
Abstract: The importance of the Gallus gallus (chicken) as a model organism and agricultural animal merits a continuation of sequence assembly improvement efforts. We present a new version of the chicken genome assembly (Gallus_gallus-5.0; GCA_000002315.3), built from combined long single molecule sequencing technology, finished BACs, and improved physical maps. In overall assembled bases, we see a gain of 183 Mb, including 16.4 Mb in placed chromosomes with a corresponding gain in the percentage of intact repeat elemen…

“…Because CATSPER1, − 4, and -G are present in ratites, their absence in zebra finch and chicken appears to reflect loss in Neognaths. Our conclusions are partially consistent with Cai et al [72], Chung et al [70], and Warren et al [41], but due to the higher quality PacBio scaffolds and examination of additional birds, we provide stronger evidence with regards to truncation and phylogenetic patterns of gene loss. We note that the chicken gene annotated as CATSPER2 in NCBI (Gene ID: 395985) is misannotated – the correct annotation is CACNA1S.…”
