Brain transcriptome of the violet-eared waxbill and recent evolution in the songbird genome
Balakrishnan, Christopher N.; Chapus, Charles; Brewer, Michael S.; Clayton, David F. (2013-09)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 ... -
Brain transcriptome sequencing and assembly of three songbird model systems for the study of social behavior
Balakrishnan, Christopher N.; Mukai, Motoko; Gonser, Rusty A.; Wingfield, John C.; London, Sarah E.; Tuttle, Elaina M.; Clayton, David F. (2014-05)Emberizid sparrows (emberizidae) have played a prominent role in the study of avian vocal communication and social behavior. We present here brain transcriptomes for three emberizid model systems, song sparrow Melospiza ...
