Project description:We carried out a comparative genomic analysis of 48 avian species to identify avian-specific highly conserved elements (ASHCEs). We performed genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) for three enhancer-associated histone modifications (H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K27me3), to investigate dynamic regulatory roles of ASHCEs in chicken development. We found that all three enhancer-associated histone marks are enriched in ASHCEs compared to the whole genome background.
