Hirundo rustica rustica isolate:Chelidonia Genome sequencing and assembly. Hirundo rustica rustica isolate:Chelidonia

The barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) is a migratory bird that has been the focus of a number of behavioural and genetic studies on account of the existence of geographically circumscribed subspecies, and highly specific migration patterns. To facilitate further genomic and population genetics studies, we present here a high quality draft genome sequence for the European subspecies (Hirundo rustica rustica).

家燕（Hirundo rustica）是一种候鸟，因其存在地理限定的亚种以及高度特化的迁徙模式，长期以来一直是诸多行为学与遗传学研究的重点。为助力后续基因组学与群体遗传学研究，我们在此公布欧洲亚种（Hirundo rustica rustica）的高质量草图基因组序列。
