More about the missing avian genes and what we mean by speaking about the gene/sequence "s-s-stu-tu-tu-ttering" . Kudos to all authors!

Hron, @dalibormiklik.bsky.social @hpaces.bsky.social et al. demonstrate that avian dot microchromosomes harbor widespread gene attrition; retained dot chromosomes genes exhibit a new form of dynamic genetic instability - sequence stuttering. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evag038 #genome #evolution #birds
