Abstract

Pyrrhula murina’s reference genome will substantially enhance the current monitoring of genetic diversity and population viability and will allow us to understand the effective population size trends throughout time and recent bottlenecks and population expansions. A total of 42 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules were assembled from the genome sequence. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 1.2 Gb, composed of 65 contigs and 60 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 64.8 Mb and 76 Mb, respectively.
