Gapfilled nuclear genome assemblies of black-tailed dusky antechinus (Antechinus arktos), silver-headed antechinus (Antechinus argentus), and black-tailed dasyure (Murexia melanurus)

Paired-end (100 bp) DNA libraries were sequenced by BGI (Hong Kong) using a BGISEQ-500 instrument to generate ~30× genome coverage. Raw data (mean 948,503,285±3,100,231 reads) was filtered using Flexbar v3.4.0 [1,2] (to remove adapters and low-quality reads) with default settings. Paired-end sequence reads from whole-genome sequencing of the three dasyurid species to the repeat-masked reference genome assemblies of the dasyurids yellow-footed antechinus [<em>Antechinus flavipes</em>; assembly AdamAnt) and Tasmanian devil (<em>Sarcophilus harrisii</em>; assembly Devil_ref v7.0, also known as sarHar1 [3])].
