Chiroxiphia lanceolata (Lanced-tailed manakin) genome, bChiLan1, primary haplotype
The lance-tailed manakin (Chiroxiphia lanceolata) is a lekking suboscine Passerine bird studied for understanding sexual selection and the evolution of cooperation. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP, B10K, and Manakin Genome's project. Sequencing was conducted with Pacific long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics libraries at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina sequencing at NovaGene. Genome assembly was conducted by the Olivier Fedrigo, and supervised by Arang Rhie, using the VGP 1.5 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Funding was raised by Christopher Balakrishnan and Erich Jarvis from members of the Manakin Research Coordination Network, and further subsidized by Erich Jarvis' Rockefeller funds. The raw data and assembly are currently under a G10K-VGP publication embargo until removed from this description, following the G10K data use policy at the following URL: https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu/data-use-policies/
