Genome-wide analysis sheds light on the high-altitude adaptation of the buff-throated partridge (Tetraophasis szechenyii)

A de novo assembled genome of the Tibetan Partridge (Perdix hodgsoniae) and its high‐altitude adaptation

“…The genome sizes of Galliformes species ranged from 0.93 Gb (C. japonica) to 1.25 Gb (C. virginianus) (Feng et al 2020); genome size of P. hodgsoniae is within this range. The GC content of the P. hodgsoniae genome was similar to that of other Galliformes species, such as 41.43% in Tetraophasis szechenyii (Zhou et al 2020) and an average of 41.5% in G. gallus (Lamichhaney et al 2016).…”

“…In consideration of the mountain meadows and bushwoods inhabits, it is possible that its olfactory system has become less sensitive to scents. The loss of OR genes was also found in some other birds living in high-attitude environments, such as P. humilis (Qu et al 2013) and T. szechenyii (Zhou et al 2020).…”

Genome-Wide Analyses of the Relict Gull (Larus Relictus) Insights Into Evolutionary Implications

“…The genome size of L. relictus was similar to those of some other Aves, such as P. pugnax (1.25 Gb) [18]. The GC content of the L. relictus genome was similar to that of other Aves, such as 41.43% in Tetraophasis szechenyii [19], an average of 42.5% in P. pugnax and an average of 41.5% in G. gallus [18]. This proportion of repeat sequences is similar to that found in previous studies, in which almost all avian genomes contained lower levels of repeat elements than other animal genomes, with percentages of approximately 4-10% [16].…”

The draft genome of the blood pheasant (Ithaginis cruentus): Phylogeny and high‐altitude adaptation

“…We found that 16,003 (92.99%) out of 17,209 identified PCGs were well supported by public protein databases (TrEMBL, SwissProt, GO, and KEGG) for the blood pheasant (Table ). Totally, we identified 279,037 perfect SSRs in the blood pheasant (Table 2) which was lower than that in the buff‐throated partridge (Zhou et al., 2020).…”
