Announcement of the chicken genome sequence and genome variation maps

searchers also aligned the draft version of the chicken sequence with the human sequence. The U.S. sequencing work was funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, which is part of NIH.

Final analyses of both projects are underway and the results are expected to be published this summer. The data for the chicken variation map have been made available to collaborating scientists and will soon be deposited in public databases. The completion of the chicken genome sequence and genome variation maps paves the way to the understanding of chicken as a model organism for research on vertebrate evolution and human health, and to the improvement of poultry breeding and food safety.
