A New Chicken Genome Assembly Provides Insight into Avian Genome Structure

A New Chicken Genome Assembly Provides Insight into Avian Genome Structure

The importance of the Gallus gallus (chicken) as a model organism and agricultural animal merits a continuation of sequence assembly improvement efforts. We present a new version of the chicken genome assembly (Gallus_gallus-5.0; GCA_000002315.3), built from combined long single molecule sequencing...
