(Near-complete) T2T assembly of the Gila monster, data freeze (May 2025)

Curated genome assembly of a female Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum).Assembled from UL-ONT and phased with HiC data using Hifiasm (https://github.com/chhylp123/hifiasm) and scaffolded with HiC data using Pretext (https://github.com/sanger-tol/PretextView).Gene annotations were produced using Liftoff from the Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata) genome RefSeq annotations (GCF_023053635.1).Small structural variants were called using longcallD (https://github.com/yangao07/longcallD). [primary only]Satellite array annotations with anianns (https://github.com/marbl/anianns). [primary only]Transposable element and repeat annotations using EarlGrey (https://github.com/TobyBaril/EarlGrey). [primary only]Manual annotations of psuedoautosomal regions (PAR) regions of the ZW sex chromosomes. [primary only]
