Revisiting avian ‘missing’ genes from de novo assembled transcripts

Abstract Background Argument remains as to whether birds have lost genes compared with mammals and non-avian vertebrates during speciation. High quality-reference gene sets are necessary for precisely evaluating gene gain and loss. It is essential to explore new reference transcripts from large-scal...
