Zonotrichia albicollis (white-throated sparrow) genome, bZonAlb1, sequence data

The white-throated sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) is a passerine bird of the New World sparrow family Passerellidae. It breeds in northern North America and winters in the southern United States (from Wikipedia entry). This sample of a female individual was procured by Jean-Nicolas Audet at the Rockefeller University Field Research Center in Millbrook, New York, for a vocal learning study and to generate a high-quality reference genome for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, and Jennifer Balacco.

白喉带鹀（Zonotrichia albicollis）是隶属于新世界雀科（Passerellidae）的雀形目鸟类。该物种繁殖于北美北部，越冬于美国南部（引自维基百科词条）。本数据集的雌性个体样本由让-尼古拉·奥代（Jean-Nicolas Audet）于纽约州米尔布鲁克的洛克菲勒大学野外研究中心采集，用于鸣声学习研究，并为脊椎动物基因组计划（Vertebrate Genomes Project, VGP）构建高质量参考基因组。测序与基因组组装工作由洛克菲勒大学脊椎动物基因组实验室（Vertebrate Genome Lab, VGL）承接，由埃里希·D·贾维斯（Erich D. Jarvis）、朱利奥·福门蒂（Giulio Formenti）与珍妮弗·巴拉科（Jennifer Balacco）主导完成。
