Clamator glandarius isolate:D3745A Genome sequencing and assembly
Clamator glandarius (Great spotted cuckoo) Sequence Assembly Release NotesBackground:The Great spotted cuckoo (family Cuculidae) is a cuculiform bird with a geographic range spanning across Africa and the Mediterranean Basin. It is an obligate brood parasite that exploits a variety of corvid species, including the common magpie, its most common host in Europe. Great spotted cuckoo high molecular weight (HMW) DNA isolated for sequencing is derived from an adult female provided by Dr. Juan Gabriel Martinez, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidad de Granada. HMW DNA was used as input to generate HiFi reads using the Sequel II instrument (Pacific Biosciences) on HiFi mode. Total coverage used for assembly was 19x using a genome size estimate of 1.388 GB. All quality filtered sequence reads were assembled with Hifiasm v0.19.3-r572 using default parameter settings.
