It seems that DNA/mRNA code for the COL1A1 gene in birds and reptiles is very hard to find, or even impossible to find, on GenBank. I came up with a solution, though chances are it isn't a viable option.

You study cell biology at university. Is there any chance that you might know someone who has the time and resources to sequence DNA? If so, then maybe that person could get a few bird or reptile specimens and sequence their collagen genes.
