De novo whole genome sequence of indigenous chicken (Hilly chicken) of Bangladesh

Hilly chickens, also known as indigenous or local chickens found in hilly or mountainous regions, can be classified based on various factors such as their physical characteristics, genetic traits and geographical distribution. The hilly chickens are reportedly comparably superior to other local chickens, according to phenotypic productivity tests. The chicken genome is incredibly useful and will be of enormous benefit to explore the potential as adaptable species and developing new suitable varieties. With the use of cutting-edge next generation sequencing (NGS) technology we attempted to develop a whole genome of Hilly chicken of Bangladesh
