Mar 31, 2023 · The bald eagle has bounced back from its 20th-century population free fall—but does its DNA suffer from a genetic bottleneck? Our blog explains. The takeaway: That iconic ruler of America’s skies, the bald eagle, has had a tough go of it lately.

Dec 29, 2014 · A portion of the NCBI Gene report for the bald eagle ACO2 gene. The graphical display includes information about the gene structure, the RefSeq transcript and protein models, and RNA-Seq coverage graphs produced by the annotation pipeline.

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 …

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.

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 …

Feb 1, 2015 · We analyzed ancient DNA sequence data from a 3500-year-old eagle bone from Hawaii. • The lineage clusters with White-tailed Eagles, but has a highly distinct haplotype. • Colonization of Hawaii is estimated to have occurred during the Middle Pleistocene.

Oct 29, 2019 · An aliquot of DNA from each sample was sent to Eurofins (River Falls, WI) where the samples were further assessed for quality and concentration prior to genotyping using our custom Axiom myDesign Bald Eagle SNP array.

Jan 11, 2005 · McMaster University anthropologist Michael Bunce has shed new light on the evolution of the extinct Haast’s eagle, the giant bird that once ruled the skies over New Zealand. Weighing between 20...

Mar 31, 2023 · The bald eagle, once a threatened species, has bounced back. Read this article to learn about bald eagle DNA and genetic bottlenecks.
