Artibeus intermedius (common fruit-eating bat) genome, mArtInt1, sequence data

The common fruit-eating bat (Artibeus intermedius) is a species of bat found in South America and Central America. This sample of a male individual found in Lamanai, Orange Walk District, Belize, was procured by Nancy Simmons and Sonja Vernes to generate a high-quality reference genome for the Bat1K project and Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing was conducted at Paratus Sciences and genome assembly was conducted at the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, and Jennifer Balacco.
