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:The data contain a proteomic analysis of cloacal fluid from 12 females across the reproductive cycle. Letters are used to indicate individuals, while numbers represent reproductive phases (1 - prereceptive, 2 - receptive, 3 - postreceptive). Due to the fact that the genome of the barn swallow is not fully annotated, proteins were mapped to zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) genome.
Project description:This project contains sperm and seminal fluids proteomes from selected species of passerine birds: Taeniopygia guttata, Hirundo rustica, Chloris chloris, Acrocephalus palustris, Cinclus cinclus, Phylloscopus collybita. We employed label-free proteomics to generate proteomes in the zebra finch, a songbird species with annotated genome and five wild-living songbirds representing five families within the Passerida clade, all with poorly known genomes. The results show that protein mapping of the new passerine proteomes to zebra finch genome was successful, thus, yielding highly similar protein identifications and a sufficient number of unique peptides in all the studied proteomes.
Project description:We have conducted a season and subspecies comparasion on the two Willow Warbler subspecies Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and Phylloscopus trochilus acredula. The analysis were performed by hybridizing cDNA from the Willow Warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) on a Affymetrix costum array designed for the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata), the Lund-zf array.
