The evolutionary relationship of modern birds is one of the most challenging questions in systematic biology and has been debated for centuries. We proposed to rebuild the avian phylogenetic tree by using whole genome data, thus we have collected genomes of 48 bird species, representing 36 orders of bird class. The chicken, zebrafinch, and turkey genomes, which were sequenced in Sanger method, were collected from public domain. Another three genomes, pigeon, peregrine falcon, and Beijing duck, have been published during the development of this project.
The data posted here include the full genome assemblies of 45 bird species, the repeat and gene annotation produced by our new pipeline, 8295 1:1 syntenic orthologous genes, and the whole genome alignment data for all bird species. The detailed information of the published genomes can be accessed from their own publications. The genomes first released here were sequenced and assembled with NGS technology in whole genome shotgun strategy. Using an homology-based method, we annotated 13000~17000 protein-coding genes in each avian genome.
So far as we known, the avian phylogenomic project is the biggest comparative genomics project to date. The unprecedented genomic data presented here will contribute to the downstream analyses in many fields, including phylogenetics, comparative genomics, neurology, development biology, etc.
