With an inquisitive high school student, we finished assembly and sequencing of chicken CD19 gene. Difficult sequence, not annotated yet in any bird. Here we return this B-cell marker to the deserving chicken ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/OR8…

PLEASE SHARE: An exciting PhD opportunity in my lab, studying the gut microbiota of a very interesting group of wild-living cattle (ed.ac.uk/e4-dtp/how-to-apply…). The Chillingham cattle are a very odd bunch, so expecting to find some intriguing results. @e3dtp
