Zusammenfassung:Many will be pleased to hear that the assembly of the draft sequence of the chicken genome is expected in March 2004. The chicken community has long suffered from its division between the agricultural world, interested in improving existing breeds by genetics in their immune function and associated pathologies, and the academic world, for which the chick embryo has constituted an important model for decades. In recent discussions aimed at providing a broad range of genetic resources, these worlds are coming together.
