Myotis nesopolus (Curacao myotis) genome, mMyoNes1, sequence data
The Curacao myotis (Myotis nesopolus) is a species of vesper bat (family Vespertilionidae). It is found in Bonaire (Netherlands), Colombia, Curacao and Venezuela (from Wikipedia entry). This sample of a male individual was procured by Burton Lim 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.
