Hipposideros larvatus (intermediate roundleaf bat) genome, mHipLar1, primary haplotype

The intermediate roundleaf bat (Hipposideros larvatus) is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae (leaf-nosed), that lives in Southeast Asia. This sample was sequenced by Jianguo Lu's group at Sun Yat-sen University in China, assembled by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis' group at the Rockefeller University in New York, and curated by Kerstin Howe's group at the Sanger Institute in England. The genome was generated for a Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP) reference. Above background Hi-C linkage exists between chromosomes 8 and 16, 14 and 17, 16 and 17. This elevated association is not strong enough to suggest that these pairs should be joined. (1st submission). This sample was originally misidentified as a Chinese rufous horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus sinicus) mRhiSin1, submitted to NCBI in Jan 2022. Correction was made in May 2022 to intermediate roundleaf bat (Hipposideros larvatus) mHipLar1.
