Correspondence on Lovell et al.: identification of chicken genes previously assumed to be evolutionarily lost
Abstract Through RNA-Seq analyses, we identified 137 genes that are missing in chicken, including the long-sought-after nephrin and tumor necrosis factor genes. These genes tended to cluster in GC-rich regions that have poor coverage in genome sequence databases. Hence, the occurrence of syntenic gr...
