Neomorphus geoffroyi isolate:LSUMZ B-2286 Genome sequencing and assembly
Neomorphus geoffroyi (rufous-vented ground cuckoo) Sequence Assembly Release NotesBackground:The rufous-vented ground cuckoo (family Cuculidae) is a large ground-dwelling cuckoo found across various countries in Central and South America. It is a parental cuckoo species that builds a nest, incubates eggs and rears its own offspring. Rufous-vented ground cuckoo high molecular weight (HMW) DNA isolated for sequencing is derived from an adult female provided by the Louisiana Museum of Natural History at Louisiana State University (LSUMZ B-2286). 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 44x using a genome size estimate of 1.20 GB. All quality filtered sequence reads were assembled with Hifiasm v0.19.3-r572 using default parameter settings.This work was supported by NSF grants DBI 1754311, 1754397, 1754406, 1754643, 1940624.Neomorphus geoffroyi Sequence and Assembly Credits: Brood Parasites Genome ConsortiumDNA sources - Louisiana Museum of Natural History, Louisiana State University.Genome Sequence - Hudson Alpha Institute, Huntsville, AL.Sequence and Assembly - University of Missouri, Columbia, MO.Citation upon use of this assembly in a manuscript:It is requested that users of this Neomorphus geoffroyi sequence assembly acknowledge the Brood Parasitic Bird Genomes Consortium in any publications that result from use of this sequence assembly prior to the publication of this resource.
