Integrated maps in quail (Coturnix japonica) confirm the high degree of synteny conservation with chicken (Gallus gallus) despite 35 million years of divergence (2006)

Kayang, Boniface B, Fillon, Valérie, Inoue-Murayama, Miho, Miwa, Mitsuru, Leroux, Sophie, Fève, Katia, ...

Abstract Background By comparing the quail genome with that of chicken, chromosome rearrangements that have occurred in these two galliform species over 35 million years of evolution can be detected....

Mapping of panda plumage color locus on the microsatellite linkage map of the Japanese quail (2006)

Miwa, Mitsuru, Inoue-Murayama, Miho, Kobayashi, Naoki, Kayang, Boniface, Mizutani, Makoto, Takahashi, Hideaki, ...

Abstract Background Panda ( s ) is an autosomal recessive mutation, which displays overall white plumage color with spots of wild-type plumage in the Japanese quail ( Coturnix japonica ). In a...

Microsatellite mapping of QTL affecting growth, feed consumption, egg production, tonic immobility and body temperature of Japanese quail (2005)

Minvielle, Francis, Kayang, Boniface B, Inoue-Murayama, Miho, Miwa, Mitsuru, Vignal, Alain, Gourichon, David, ...

Abstract Background The Japanese quail ( Coturnix japonica ) is both an animal model in biology and a commercial bird for egg and meat production. Modern research developments with this bird,...

Abstract In line with the Gifu University's initiative to map the Japanese quail genome, a total of 100 Japanese quail microsatellite markers isolated in our laboratory were evaluated in a population...

On the Hatching Mechanism of Quail Embryos: Participation of Ectodermal Secretions in the Escape of Embryos from the Vitelline Membrane (2000)

Norio Yoshizaki, Wakako Yamaguchi, Shin'ichi Ito, Chiaki Katagiri

The avian hatching process is considered to comprise a series of complicated phases including the digestion of vitelline membrane and egg white and the breakdown of shell membrane and the eggshell....

Mutations in SLC45A2 Cause Plumage Color Variation in Chicken and Japanese Quail

Gunnarsson, Ulrika, Hellström, Anders R., Tixier-Boichard, Michele, Minvielle, Francis, Bed'hom, Bertrand, Ito, Shin'ichi, ...

S*S (Silver), S*N (wild type/gold), and S*AL (sex-linked imperfect albinism) form a series of alleles at the S (Silver) locus on chicken (Gallus gallus) chromosome Z. Similarly, sex-linked imperfect...

Characterization of Japanese Quail yellow as a Genomic Deletion Upstream of the Avian Homolog of the Mammalian ASIP (agouti) Gene

Nadeau, Nicola J., Minvielle, Francis, Ito, Shin'ichi, Inoue-Murayama, Miho, Gourichon, David, Follett, Sarah A., ...

ASIP is an important pigmentation gene responsible for dorsoventral and hair-cycle-specific melanin-based color patterning in mammals. We report some of the first evidence that the avian ASIP gene...
