How do birds navigate their way? It is one of the interesting question about homing pigeons, however the genetic of navigation has reminded as a puzzle. Optic lobe, olfactory bulb, hippocampus and cere were collected for RNA sampling. The generated RNA-seq represent RNA resequencing data for racing homer (homing) pigeon and other rock pigeon breeds. The obtained data set can provide new insight about hippocampus role and GSR contribution to pigeon magnetoreception.
To investigate the navigation ability of rock pigeon breeds, 60 whole transcriptome sequence data sets related to homing pigeon, Shiraz tumblers, feral pigeons and Persian high flyers were obtained. RNA extraction was performed from three brain regions (optic lobe, olfactory bulb, hippocampus) and cere. Paired-end 150 bp short reads (Library size 350 bp) were sequenced by Illumina Hiseq 2000. In this way, about 342.1 Gbp and 130.3 Gb data were provided. The whole transcriptome data sets have been deposited at the NCBI SRA database (PRJNA532674). The submitted data set may play critical role to describe the mechanism of navigation ability of rock pigeon breeds.
鸟类如何导航？这是关于家鸽的一个有趣问题，但导航的遗传学一直是个谜。采集了视神经叶、嗅球、海马体和大脑皮层用于 RNA 采样。生成的 RNA-seq 代表赛鸽（归巢）和其他岩鸽品种的 RNA 重测序数据。获得的数据集可以为海马体的作用和 GSR 对鸽子磁受体的贡献提供新的见解。
为了研究岩鸽品种的导航能力，获得了 60 个与家鸽、Shiraz tumblers、野鸽和波斯高飞者相关的全转录组序列数据集。从三个脑区（视神经叶、嗅球、海马体）和大脑皮层提取 RNA。通过 Illumina Hiseq 2000 对 150 bp 短读对（文库大小 350 bp）进行测序。这样，提供了约 342.1 Gbp 和 130.3 Gb 的数据。全转录组数据集已存储在 NCBI SRA 数据库（PRJNA532674）中。提交的数据集中可能会起到关键作用，以描述岩鸽品种导航能力的机制。
