DNA repeat arrays in chicken and human genomes and the adaptive evolution of avian genome size
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Birds have smaller average genome sizes than other tetrapod classes, and it has been proposed that a relatively low frequency of repeating DNA is one factor in reduction of avian genome sizes.</p> <p>Results</p> <...
