Genomic data of the American Crow (<em>Corvus brachyrhynchos</em>).

The American Crow (<em>Corvus brachyrhynchos brachyrhynchos</em> (Brehm, 1822)) is a large passerine bird and part of the Corvidae family. It is commonly found throughout North America, and despite being common and widespread, they are highly susceptible to West Nile Virus. <br> These data have been produced as part of the G10K and Avian Phylogenomics Project. DNA was collected from a female in the Asheboro, North Carolina Zoo, USA, with blood samples provided by Halley Buckanoff of the zoo. We sequenced the 1.26Gb genome to a depth of approximately 80X 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 24kb and 6.9Mb respectively. We identified 16,562 protein-coding genes with a mean length of 17.9kb.美洲乌鸦（*Corvus brachyrhynchos brachyrhynchos* (Brehm, 1822)）为大型雀形目鸟类，隶属于鸦科（Corvidae）。该物种广泛分布于北美全境，尽管种群常见且分布范围广阔，但对西尼罗河病毒（West Nile Virus）具有高度易感性。 本数据集作为G10K项目与鸟类系统发育组学项目（Avian Phylogenomics Project）的组成部分生成。DNA样本采集自美国北卡罗来纳州阿什伯勒动物园的一只雌性个体，血液样本由该动物园的Halley Buckanoff提供。研究团队采用不同插入片段长度（170bp、500bp、800bp、2kb、5kb、10kb及20kb）的测序文库构建短读长序列，对1.26Gb的基因组进行了约80倍深度的测序。 最终组装得到的高质量序列支架总长度达1.1Gb，其重叠群（contig）与支架（scaffold）的N50值分别为24kb与6.9Mb。研究共注释得到16562个蛋白质编码基因，平均长度为17.9kb。
