Abstract excerpt
Fea's muntjac (Muntiacus feae) is a critically conserved species in Thailand, with fewer than 3 captive breeding pairs, while the closely related red muntjac remains widespread. Red muntjac was recently reclassified into northern (M. vaginalis) and southern (M. muntjak) lineages, though their genomic distinctions are unresolved. This study aimed to generate a high-quality Fea's muntjac reference genome using...
