The black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) is a small North American songbird that lives in deciduous and mixed forests. It is a passerine bird in the tit family, the Paridae (from Wikipedia). The species name is derived from its chick-a-dee-dee-dee call. This sample was collected from an adult female in the wild at the Rockefeller University Field Research Center, by Jean-Nicolas Audet and Melanie Couture, for a song and cognitive genetics study, and used to create at high-quality reference genome for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genomes Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis, with funding support from HHMI.
