The Kuhl's pipistrelle (Pipistrellus kuhlii) is a bat species in the family of Vespertilionidae and lives over large areas of North Africa, southern Europe and Western Asia. This assembly has been produced as part of the Bat1K Project. DNA was collected from a male, wild caught in Bergamo, Italy by Emma Teeling and Andrea Locatelli. The samples were prepared in the Long Read team of the DRESDEN concept Genome Center, and sequencing was conducted at DRESDEN concept Genome Center, MPI for Evolutionary Biology, and Phase Genomics. Genome assembly, annotation and manual curation of chromosomes was conducted by the Bat1K group, and in particular by Martin Pippel of Gene Myers lab and David Jebb of Michael Hiller's lab at MPI-CBG. The primary haplotype contains the longest contigs of the DAmar assembly, phased with 10X linked reads, scaffolded with Bionano optical maps, and Phase Genomics HiC reads. More...
