Abstract

This project aims at identifying genes that code for variation of migration patterns (directions and distances) using DNA samples from willow warblers and chiffchaffs. We use whole-genome resequencing of multiple birds tracked by geolocators. This will be done with standard PE libraries but also with long MP libraries to account for larger structural variants.
