"Mind-the-gap" assemblies

This dataset contains exploratory whole-genome assemblies generated by our research group and deposited to support our contribution to the “mind-the-gap” analyses coordinated within the Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) initiative by the Environmental Bioinformatics group of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB). The dataset includes both draft-level and chromosome-level genome assemblies for two species: the saker falcon (Falco cherrug) and the Hungarian birch-mouse (Sicista trizona).

For each species, two assembly versions are provided: a draft assembly and a chromosome-level assembly. These paired assembly versions were used in our analyses following the “mind-the-gap” protocol, allowing comparison of assembly-level effects in downstream genomic analyses. Files included in the dataset: draft_sicista.fasta — draft-level genome assembly of Sicista trizona; chr_sicista.fasta — chromosome-level genome assembly of Sicista trizona; draft_falco.fasta — draft-level genome assembly of Falco cherrug; chr_falco.fasta — chromosome-level genome assembly of Falco cherrug.
