Discovery of genomic variations by whole-genome resequencing of the North American Araucana chicken. by Rooksana E Noorai, Vijay Shankar, Nowlan H Freese, Christopher M Gregorski, Susan C Chapman

“…Trimmed and concordant reads were mapped to the Gallus_gallus-5.0 reference genome (galGal5), generated from a female Red Junglefowl (UCD001). To identify candidate genes that are associated with traits of the NAA, their genome was compared with the Korean Araucana, Korean Domestic and White Leghorn breeds. …”

Effective population sizes and adaptive genetic variation in a captive bird population by Giridhar Athrey, Nikolas Faust, Anne-Sophie Charlotte Hieke, I. Lehr Brisbin

“…In this study, we assessed effective population sizes and genetic variation at both neutral microsatellite markers, as well as SNP variants from the MHC-B locus of a captive Red Junglefowl population. This population represents a rare instance of a population with a well-documented history in captivity, following a realistic scenario of chain-of-custody, unlike many captive lab populations. …”

Phylogenetic Analysis of Native Chicken from Bangladesh and Neighboring Asian Countries Based on Complete Sequence of Mitochondrial DNA D-loop Region by Mohammed A. Islam, Masahide Nishibori

“…The complete mitochondrial D-loop region was sequenced for a total of 18 individuals of Bangladeshi native chickens (BNC); full feathered (nana) (n＝7), naked neck (Nana) (n＝8) and Red junglefowl (RJF) (n＝3). The alignment of mitochondrial D-loop sequence of these chicken populations with 39 reference sequences from DNA databank; White Leghorn, G. g. murghi, G. g. bankiva, G. g. spadiceus, G. g. gallus and other Asiatic chickens was done to identify the phylogenetic position of BNC for the conservation and improvement of chicken genetic resource. …”
