Genomic data of the Anna's Hummingbird (<em>Calypte anna</em>).

The Anna's Hummingbird (<em>Calypte anna</em> (Lesson, 1829)) is a medium-sized hummingbird native to the west coast of North America and is the only North American hummingbird species with a red crown. It belongs to one of the rare groups of vocal learning birds. The bird was named after Anna Massena, Duchess of Rivoli. <br> These data have been produced as part of the G10K and Avian Phylogenomics Project. DNA was collected from from a female, which was caught in Portland, Oregan, USA by Claudio Mello and Pete Lovell. We sequenced the 1 Gb genome to a depth of approximately 110X with short reads from a series of libraries with various insert sizes (170bp, 500bp, 800bp, 2kb, 5kb, 10kb and 20kb). <br> The assembled scaffolds of high quality sequences total 1.1Gb, with the contig and scaffold N50 values of 23 kb and 4Mb respectively. We identified 16,000 protein-coding genes with a mean length of 18.5kb.
