🐦🧬 What does it take to complete the genome of a songbird? The Vertebrate Genomes Project has produced the first complete, fully phased reference genome of the zebra finch (𝘛𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘺𝘨𝘪𝘢 𝘨𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘢). Getting there took more than simply generating more sequence. #T2T #VGP #Genomics #GenomeAssembly
A male zebra finch with a bright red-orange beak, orange cheek patch, striped chest, and spotted brown wings. Text asks, “What does it take to complete the genome of a songbird?” and explains that the Vertebrate Genomes Project produced the first truly complete, fully diploid, fully phased reference genome of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata).A male zebra finch standing on rocky ground. Text explains that bird genomes are relatively small, but some of their tiniest chromosomes are difficult to sequence. The complete zebra finch genome revealed 7 macrochromosomes, 21 microchromosomes, and 11 tiny dot chromosomes.
