Show abstract
The red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa) is a popular game bird species that is in decline in several regions of southwestern Europe. The introduction of farm-reared individuals of a distinct genetic make-up in hunting reserves can result in genetic swamping of wild populations. Here we present a de novo genome assembly for the red-legged partridge based on long-read sequencing technology. The assembled genome size is 1.14 Gb, with scaffold N50 of 37.6 Mb and contig N50 of 29.5 Mb. Our genome is highly contiguous and contains 97.06% of complete avian core genes. Overall, quality of this genome assembly is equivalent to those available for other close relatives such as the Japanese quail or the chicken. This genome assembly will contribute to the understanding of genetic dynamics of wild populations of red-legged partridges with releases of farm-reared reinforcements and to appropriate management decisions of such populations.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
