Re: [dinosaur] Dinosaur Origins + Neoavian Radiation

[Thomas Richard Holtz <tholtz@umd.edu>]

You are implying that phylogenomicists actually think in terms of organism, and of taxonomy, and of tree-based thinking outside of genomes...

From the abstract of that chapter:

"Our work focused first on determining the likely karyotype of the avian ancestor (probably a small, bipedal, feathered, terrestrial Jurassic dinosaur) finding great similarity to the chicken."

They mean the last common ancestor of the crown group, right? Because that was a much later and much more chicken-like animal.

The avian phylogenomics paper also cites a chapter from a recent book on the same topic that has not yet been mentioned on the list:

Kraus RHS, ed.ÂAvian Genomics in Ecology and Evolution: From the Lab into the Wild. Cham, Switzerland: Springer Nature Switzerland AG

List members may be particularly interested in the last chapter, "Jurassic Park: What Did the Genomes of Dinosaurs Look Like?"
