Strom,Georg Haberer,Steffen Weigend,Rudolf Preisinger,Mahmood Gholami,Saber Qanbari,Henner Simianer,Kellie A. Watson,John Woolliams,David W. Burt +23 more
TL;DR: This Affymetrix® Axiom® array is the first SNP genotyping array for chicken that has been made commercially available to the public as a product and is expected to find widespread usage both in research and commercial application.
Development of a Medium Density Combined-Species SNP Array for Pacific and European Oysters (Crassostrea gigas and Ostrea edulis)
Alejandro P. Gutierrez,Frances Turner,Karim Gharbi,Richard Talbot,Natalie R Lowe,Carolina Peñaloza,Mark McCullough,Paulo A. Prodöhl,Tim P. Bean,Ross D. Houston +9 more
TL;DR: A combined-species, medium density SNP array for Pacific oyster and European flat oyster, and it is revealed that the array can be used to clearly distinguish between both families based on identity-by-state (IBS) clustering parental assignment software.
A high resolution genome-wide scan for significant selective sweeps: an application to pooled sequence data in laying chickens
Saber Qanbari,Tim M. Strom,Georg Haberer,Steffen Weigend,Almas Gheyas,Frances Turner,David W. Burt,Rudolf Preisinger,Daniel Gianola,Henner Simianer +9 more
TL;DR: The observation of multiple signals in a highly selected layer line of chicken is consistent with the hypothesis that egg production is a complex trait controlled by many genes.
Maintaining their genetic distance: Little evidence for introgression between widely hybridizing species of Geum with contrasting mating systems.
TL;DR: The results indicate that despite the presence of hybrids in contemporary populations, genetic exchange between G. rivale and G. urbanum has been extremely limited throughout their evolutionary history.
Genomic variation in macrophage-cultured European porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus Olot/91 revealed using ultra-deep next generation sequencing.
Zen H. Lu,Alexander Brown,Alison D. Wilson,Jay Gregory Calvert,Monica Balasch,Pablo Fuentes-Utrilla,Julia Loecherbach,Frances Turner,Richard Talbot,Alan Archibald,Tahar Ait-Ali +10 more
TL;DR: A pipeline based on the ultra-deep next generation sequencing approach was developed to first construct the complete genome of a European PRRSV, strain Olot/9, cultured on macrophages and then capture the rare variants representative of the mixed quasispecies population.
