Tachyglossus aculeatus (Short-beaked echidna) genome, mTacAcu1, primary haplotype. Tachyglossus aculeatus

The short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) is a monotreme mammal found in Australia, which lays eggs. This assembly has been produced as part of the VGP Project and a BGI project on mammal evolution. Sequencing was conducted with PacBio long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics linked reads at Duke University and the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC by BGI, and Illumina sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by Gregory Gedman and Giulio Formenti using the VGP 1.6 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Genome coordination and funding was by Guojie Zhang and Erich Jarvis. 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/

短喙针鼹（Tachyglossus aculeatus）是一种栖息于澳大利亚的单孔目卵生哺乳动物。本基因组组装工作作为VGP项目（Vertebrate Genomes Project，脊椎动物基因组项目）与BGI哺乳动物进化研究项目的一部分完成。测序工作由杜克大学及由Olivier Fedrigo领衔的洛克菲勒大学脊椎动物基因组实验室开展，采用PacBio长读长测序、Bionano光学图谱与10X Genomics链接读长技术；Hi-C测序由BGI完成，同时辅以Illumina测序。基因组组装由Gregory Gedman与Giulio Formenti依托VGP 1.6组装流程完成。组装得到的主要单倍型已锚定至染色体水平，而替代单倍型仅组装为重叠群（contig）。本基因组项目的协调与经费支持由张爱国（Guojie Zhang）与Erich Jarvis负责。依据G10K数据使用政策（详见以下网址：https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu/data-use-policies/），目前本项目的原始数据与基因组组装结果处于G10K-VGP出版限制阶段，该限制将持续至本说明中移除相关限制条款为止。
