Barred Owl (Strix varia varia) genome sequencing. Strix varia varia

We performed whole genome sequencing of a Barred Owl (Strix varia varia) in order to estimate genome-wide divergence with the Northern Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis caurina). This is part of a larger project to study the secondary contact and hybridization of Strix owls in western North America

我们对一只横斑林鸮（*Strix varia varia*）开展全基因组测序，旨在估算其与北方斑点鸮（*Strix occidentalis caurina*）的全基因组分化程度。本研究为一项更大规模科研项目的组成部分，该项目聚焦北美洲西部林鸮属鸟类的次生接触与杂交现象。
