Abstract excerpt
The black-necked crane (Grus nigricollis) which inhabits high-altitude areas has the largest body size of the world's 15 crane species, and is classified as threatened by the IUCN. To support further studies on population genetics and genomics, we present a high-quality genome assembly based on both Illumina and nanopore sequencing. In total, 54.59 Gb Illumina short reads and 116.5 Gb nanopore long reads were...
