Abstract
We describe a chromosome-level, haplotype-resolved genome assembly from a male European moose (Alces alces alces). The assembly comprises two pseudo-haplotypes of 3,148 Mb and 3,112 Mb, with sex chromosomes in haplotype one, and 33 autosomes in each haplotype (68 in total). Assembly completeness is high (BUSCO 98.3% and 95.7%), with 21,496 and 20,498 annotated protein-coding genes for haplotypes one and two, respectively. This genome assembly is the most complete so far generated for European moose.
期刊介绍:
Over the last 100 years, the Journal of Heredity has established and maintained a tradition of scholarly excellence in the publication of genetics research. Virtually every major figure in the field has contributed to the journal.
Established in 1903, Journal of Heredity covers organismal genetics across a wide range of disciplines and taxa. Articles include such rapidly advancing fields as conservation genetics of endangered species, population structure and phylogeography, molecular evolution and speciation, molecular genetics of disease resistance in plants and animals, genetic biodiversity and relevant computer programs.
