Birds: Scientists find strongest evidence yet of ‘migration gene’: Researchers combined satellite tracking and genome sequencing to pinpoint specific gene – Science Daily
Biologists say they have found the strongest evidence yet of a ‘migration gene’ in birds.
A team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Cardiff University say they have found the strongest evidence yet of a “migration gene” in birds.The team identified a single gene associated with migration in peregrine falcons by tracking them via satellite technology and combining this with genome sequencing.
They say their findings add further evidence to suggest genetics has a strong role to play in the distance of migration routes.
