Myuchelys georgesi Genome sequencing

Pacbio HiFi and HiC sequencing was performed to generate a scaffolded genome assembly for the Bellinger river snapping turtle. Additionally, mRNA sequencing was carried out on brain, liver and spleen tissue to assist with genome annotation. GCA_040894355.2 is a manually curated update of GCA_040894355.1, with structural errors fixed and chromosomes named. The assembly was generated by the Australian Threatened Species Initiative and coordinated by Carolyn Hogg of the University of Sydney. Manual curation was conducted at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and QC and submission coordinated by the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, for the Vertebrate Genomes Project.

本研究利用Pacbio高保真（Pacbio HiFi）测序与染色质构象捕获（HiC）测序技术，为贝灵格河鳄龟（Bellinger river snapping turtle）构建了支架化基因组组装结果。此外，研究团队还针对该鳄龟的脑、肝脏及脾脏组织开展了mRNA测序，以辅助基因组注释工作。GCA_040894355.2是GCA_040894355.1的人工校正更新版本，修复了其中的结构错误并完成了染色体命名。该基因组组装由澳大利亚濒危物种倡议（Australian Threatened Species Initiative）完成，由悉尼大学的Carolyn Hogg统筹协调。基因组的人工注释工作在惠康桑格研究所（Wellcome Sanger Institute）开展，而质量控制与提交流程则由洛克菲勒大学脊椎动物基因组实验室（Vertebrate Genome Lab, VGL）统筹，服务于脊椎动物基因组计划（Vertebrate Genomes Project）。
