Animal sample from Zenaida meloda (West Peruvian dove) for VGP reference genome, bZenMel1
Zenaida meloda
The West Peruvian dove (Zenaida meloda) is a species of dove in the genus Zenaida. It can be found in desert lowlands and foothills in many open and semi-open habitats (from Wikipedia entry). This sample of a female individual was procured from the breeding center project "The Dodo Park" owned by Nasser Bin Mohamed Al-Jbr in northern Qatar and coordinated by Simona Secomandi and supported by Ben Novak to generate a high-quality reference genome for Revive & Restore and the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing was done by the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, and Jennifer Balacco, and assembly and manual curation were done by Secomandi.
