AvianGenomes.org Introduction

Within the genomes of birds (click to browse the genome), there are similar numbers of protein coding genes as found in mammals. So far ~17,000 protein-coding genes have been found in zebra finch by the EnsEMBL pipeline (Warren et al[1]), and ~23,000 in chickens Hillier, L.W.et al 2004. The lower number in zebra finch means that many more will be discovered.
