Scaffold assembly of Acomys percivali  and Acomys kempi
The spiny mice are species of Acomys genus, native to northern Africa. They have appearance similar house mice (genus Mus), genetically closely related to gerbils. Percival's spiny mouse(Acomys percivali) and Kemp's spiny mouse (Acomys kempi), found in Kenya, Somalia dry savanna and rocky areas. Similar to other Acomys species it can shed its skin, and completely regenerating damaged hair follicles, skin, sweat glands, fur and cartilage.The assembly is provided by the European Bioinformatics Institute and Wellcome Sanger Institute. These assemblies are in scaffold level, to replace the pseudo-chromosomes in GCA_907169655.1.
