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.
