Pteronotus mesoamericanus (Mesoamerican mustached bat) genome, mPteMes1, sequence data
The Mesoamerican mustached bat (Pteronotus mesoamericanus) is a species of bat found in Central America. This sample of a male individual was procured by Ine Alvarez van Tussenbroek to generate a high-quality reference genome for Bat1K and the Bat Biology Foundation. Sequencing was conducted at Paratus Sciences and genome assembly was conducted at the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, and Jennifer Balacco.
