Abstract:The White-eared Night-Heron (Gorsachius magnificus, G. magnificus) is a critically endangered heron that is very poorly known and only found in southern China and northern Vietnam, with an estimated population of 250 to 999 mature individuals. However, the lack of a reference genome has hindered the implementation of conservation management efforts. In this study, we present the first high-quality chromosome-scale reference genome, which was assembled by integrating PacBio long-reads sequencing, Illumina paire… Show more
