The first complete assembly for a lungless urodelan with a "miniaturized" genome, the Northern Dusky Salamander (Plethodontidae: Desmognathus fuscus)

The scaffolded assembly in FASTA format (aDesFus1-2.1.fasta) and the TE (aDesFus1-2.1.filteredRepeats.gff) and functional (aDesFus1-2.1.gff3) annotations are provided in Zenodo repository 10.5281/zenodo.1520035. Some contigs may have been removed from the NCBI refseq due to adapter/foreign contamination. The version provided here was used in the EarlGrey and funannotate pipelines and matches those results files.The AGP file (mapsR3v2.rename.split.fix2.chrscf.agp) provides the scaffolding information for the original contig-level assembly in FASTA format (aDesFus_merged_new_p_purged_purged_clean.fa.gz) are given in the updated version.
