In the version of this article initially published, the statement "there are no pan-genomes for any other animal or plant species" was incorrect. The statement has been corrected to "there are no reported pan-genomes for any other animal species, to our knowledge." We thank David Edwards for bringing this error to our attention. The error has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

Article Synopsis
  • Phenotyping animals helps farmers collect useful data about livestock, which can improve our understanding of their genes and traits.
  • Advances in technology, such as mobile phones and computers, make it easier and cheaper to gather this important data, even in places with fewer resources.
  • Researchers are learning how to use these new tools to study animals better, but keeping up with all the fast changes can be hard for them.

Pan-genomes, encompassing the entirety of genetic sequences found in a collection of genomes within a clade, are more useful than single reference genomes for studying species diversity. This is especially true for a species like Zea mays, which has a particularly diverse and complex genome. Presenting pan-genome data, analyses, and visualization is challenging, especially for a diverse species, but more so when pan-genomic data is linked to extensive gene model and gene data, including classical gene information, markers, insertions, expression and proteomic data, and protein structures as is the case at MaizeGDB.

A chromosome-level genome assembly for the Silkie chicken resolves complete sequences for key chicken metabolic, reproductive, and immunity genes.

A set of high-quality pan-genomes would help identify important genes that are still hidden/incomplete in bird reference genomes. In an attempt to address these issues, we have assembled a de novo chromosome-level reference genome of the Silkie (Gallus gallus domesticus), which is an important avian model for unique traits, like fibromelanosis, with unclear genetic foundation. This Silkie genome includes the complete genomic sequences of well-known, but unresolved, evolutionarily, endocrinologically, and immunologically important genes, including leptin, ovocleidin-17, and tumor-necrosis factor-α.

is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia. While studied extensively in various laboratory models, less is known about the cell function while inside the human lung. We present the first analysis of the global gene expression of while the bacteria are in the lung during pneumonia ( conditions) and contrast it with bacterial isolates that have been cultured under standard laboratory conditions ( conditions).

Anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) substances in plant products, such as indigestible non-starchy polysaccharides (α-galactooligosaccharides, α-GOS), phytate, tannins, and alkaloids can impede the absorption of many critical nutrients and cause major physiological disorders. To enhance silage quality and its tolerance threshold for humans as well as other animals, ANFs must be reduced. This study aims to identify and compare the bacterial species/strains that are potential use for industrial fermentation and ANFs reduction.
