Nyctibius grandis (Great Potoo) genome, bNycGra1

The Great Potoo (Nyctibius grandis) is the largest bird of the Caprimulgiformes order, inhabit tropical America from Mexico to Southern Brazil, and is nocturnal. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP and B10K projects. Sequencing was conducted with PacBio long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics linked reads at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by Tomas Carrasco and Marcela Uliano-Silva, and supervised by Arang Rhie, using the VGP 1.6 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Genome coordination and funding was by Erich Jarvis and Tom Gilbert. 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/
