AI Article Synopsis
- * The resulting genome is 2.74 billion base pairs long, with a contig size of over 1 million base pairs.
- * We annotated the genome by mapping genes from another species, identifying over 20,500 protein-coding genes and nearly 28,200 transcripts, with data available in GenBank.
Article Abstract
We sequenced the genome of the North American groundhog, , also known as the woodchuck. Our sequencing strategy included a combination of short, high-quality Illumina reads plus long reads generated by both Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore instruments. Assembly of the combined data produced a genome of 2.74 Gbp in total length, with an N50 contig size of 1,094,236 bp. To annotate the genome, we mapped the genes from another genome and from the closely related Alpine marmot, , onto our assembly, resulting in 20,559 annotated protein-coding genes and 28,135 transcripts. The genome assembly and annotation are available in GenBank under BioProject PRJNA587092.
