Abstract

The quail (Coturnix japonica) has been used as a model animal in many research fields and its application is still expanding in other fields. Compared to the chicken, the quail is quicker to reach sexually maturity, has short generation intervals, is easy to handle, requires less space and feed, and is sturdy. In addition, it produces many eggs and the research tools developed for chicken can be applied directly to quail or with some modifications. Due to recent advances in next-generation sequencing, abundant sequence data for the quail genome and transcripts have been generated. These sequence data are valuable sources for studying functional genomics using quail, which is one of the model animal used to investigate gene function and networks. Although there are some obstacles to be removed, the quail is the best optimized model to study the functional genomics of poultry. In many research fields, functional genomics study using the quail model will provide the best opportunity to understand the phenomena and principles of life. We review why, among many other birds, the quail is the best model for studying poultry functional genomics.
