Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse Reference Genome haplotype 1
A reference genome was created for Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse (Tympanuchus columbianus phasianellus) through a collaboration with Boise State University and Cantata Bio (Dovetail Genomics). This genome was assembled using HiFi hifiasm with Omni-C integration. Transcriptomic sequencing of three tissue types (liver, heart, brain) were also used to create an annotation for this reference genome. This reference genome will be made publically available to enhance our understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes in declining prairie grouse populations. Haplotype 1 assembly.
