Article Synopsis
- - The study presents the first chromosome-level reference genome for the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) from a kidney sample taken from an abandoned calf discovered in Hawaii in 2013.
- - Advanced sequencing techniques, including PacBio long-read DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing, were employed to analyze and characterize the whale's genome and transcriptome.
- - Validation of the genome involved synteny analysis and BUSCO scoring, which showed a high level of genomic completeness compared to other whale species, along with constructing a time-based phylogenetic tree using the new data.
