Madagascar ground gecko genome analysis characterizes asymmetric fates of duplicated genes
2018
Background
Conventionally, comparison among amniotes – birds, mammals, and reptiles – has often been approached through analyses of mammals and, for comparison, birds. However, birds are morphologically and physiologically derived and, moreover, some parts of their genomes are recognized as difficult to sequence and/or assemble and are thus missing in genome assemblies. Therefore, sequencing the genomes of reptiles would aid comparative studies on amniotes by providing more comprehensive coverage to help understand the molecular mechanisms underpinning evolutionary changes.
