@KerryJL And in general, many bird genes are not in fact missing, just difficult to sequence. This was the original motivation of our work, we thought chicken RIG-I is just a "hidden gene" https://t.co/b3LJ7h3Lz4

@PaulBieniasz @ArisKatzourakis @dansalves Interesting that avian ZAP lost the CpG specificity. We have shown that a subset of avian genes is extremely GC-rich, it may be a way to avoid inhibiting these https://t.co/3jcyuQyRbx
