Choloepus didactylus (Linnaeus's two-toed sloth) genome, mChoDid1

Choloepus didactylus, commonly known as Linnaeus's two-toed sloth, is a native species from South America. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP project. Sequencing was conducted with Pacific long reads at the Max Planck Institute in Dresden led by Gene Myers; Bionano optical maps, 10X Genomics libraries at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo; HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by Marcela Uliano-Silva, using the VGP 1.5 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Funding was raised by Camila Mazzoni and Gene Myers. 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/
