Transcriptome analysis to elucidate the radiation of endemic finches (Nesospiza acunhae) on the islands of Tristan da Cunha
Abstract There is adaptive radiation of endemic finches on the islands of Tristan da Cunha. On each of two of the islands a small-billed and a large-billed subspecies have evolved independently. In this study we analysed the transcriptome of the finch Nesospiza acunhae of Inaccessible Island with the use of RNA-seq reads. The rapid improvement in nextgeneration sequencing technologies as well as
