Brain transcriptome of the violet-eared waxbill Uraeginthus granatina and recent evolution in the songbird genome

Songbirds are important models for the study of social behaviour and communication. To complement the recent genome sequencing of the domesticated zebra finch, we sequenced the brain transcriptome of a closely related songbird species, the violet-eared waxbill (Uraeginthus granatina). Both the zebra...
