Nov 1, 2005 · We sampled representatives of all 14 Accipitridae subfamilies, focusing on four subfamilies of eagles (booted eagles, sea eagles, harpy eagles, and snake eagles) and two subfamilies of Old World vultures (Gypaetinae and Aegypiinae) with …
Ancient DNA Tells Story of Giant Eagle Evolution - PMC
In a new study, Michael Bunce et al. compared ancient mitochondrial DNA extracted from Haast's eagle bones with DNA sequences of 16 living eagle species to better characterize the evolutionary history of the extinct giant raptor.
repetitive DNA is believed to be selectively neutral and have a high mutation rate. Although the project was not funded for molecular work, I created a DNA library with bald eagle genomic DNA, designed probes to screen the library for di-nucleotide repeats, and screened about 300 clones, each containing 300-600 bases of recombinant DNA.
The Genome Sequence of a Widespread Apex Predator, the Golden Eagle
We sequenced, assembled, and annotated the first eagle genome using DNA from a male golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) captured in western North America. We constructed genomic libraries that were sequenced using Illumina technology and assembled the …
