Project description:We applied single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate inter-species differences in germ cell development between chicken and zebra finch (Taeniopygia castanotis, formerly Taeniopygia guttata castanotis), a Neoaves songbird species and a common model of vocal learning.
Project description:We have conducted a Cross-Species Microarray analysis by hybridizing genomic DNA from the common whitethroat (Sylivia communis) on a newly developed Affymetrix costum array designed for the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata), the Lund-zf array. We have also quality tested the Lund-zf array by hybridizing zebra finch genomic DNA to the platform.
