Animal sample from Sitta carolinensis (white-breasted nuthatch) for VGP reference genome, bSitCar1
Sitta carolinensis
The white-breasted nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis) is a species of bird in the nuthatch family Sittidae. It breeds throughout much of North America, except in the cooler and drier areas. It is mainly found at low elevations, in deciduous forests or in mixed woodlands (from Wikipedia entry). This sample of a female individual was procured by Jean-Nicolas Audet at the Rockefeller University Field Research Center in Millbrook, New York, for a vocal learning study and to generate a high-quality reference genome for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, and Jennifer Balacco.
