Chicken genome analysis unlocks secrets of mammalian and bird evolution

el for 9,600 other species of birds, provides insights that were unavailable from previous genome sequences. Delany noted that the chicken genome sequencing also underscores just how incomplete the current understanding of complex organisms is.

"Furthermore, the sequencing project illustrates how essential it is that we conserve avian stocks if we are to make further research advances," she said. "It's vital that we make sure that existing chicken lines are protected both as important agricultural species and as powerful research models."

Delany is a faculty member in UC Davis' renowned College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences whose research programs range from production agriculture and nutrition to ecology and the environment.

Her contribution to the analysis of the chicken genome was supported by funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Research Initiative Competitive Grants Program, the University of California and the UC Davis Department of Animal Science.
