Least weasel draft genome assembly and mtDNA dataset

This Dataset contains the draft de novo genome assembly and the mtDNA sequences of least weasel (Mustela nivalis) generated in the following research paper:Miranda et al (2021). Museomics dissects the genetic basis for adaptive seasonal colouration in the least weasel. Molecular Biology and Evolution, 38(10):4388–4402. DOI:10.1093/molbev/msab177--------------------------------------Information on files:1) In the context of the study of the genetic basis and evolution of seasonal coat colour variation in the least weasel, we generated a draft reference genome assembly for the species based on linked-read data generated with 10X Chromium technology. The original genome files used in the analyses are provided in the files:1.1) Mnivalis-assembly-pseudohap1_primary.fasta.gz - contains the original version of the primary pseudohaplotype.1.2) Mnivalis-assembly-pseudohap2_alternative.fasta.gz - contains the original version of the alternative pseudohaplotype.2) The file mtDNA_alignment_M-nivalis.fas contains the sequences of mitochondrial DNA of 68 specimens assembled de novo from whole-genome sequencing short-reads.
