Scientists at Cornell University and other institutions analyzed sparrow populations using reduced-representation sequencing to understand the genetic differences underlying a very broad range of phenotypes. They found that genetic data indicated three distinct clusters corresponding to habitat. The team used BluePippin to select 400 bp – 700 bp fragments for sequencing.
