The Rifleman (Acanthisitta chloris) is an endemic bird to New Zealand and is also known as New Zealand wrens, or Titipounamu in Maori. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP project. Sequencing was conducted with Pacific long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics libraries at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by the Olivier Fedrigo, and supervised by Arang Rhie, using the VGP 1.6 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Funding was raised by Tom Gilbert and Erich Jarvis from B10K contributors and HHMI. The raw data and assembly are currently under a G10K-VGP publication embargo until removed from this description, following the G10K data use policy at the following URL: https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu/data-use-policies/ Less...
