Chromosome-level genome assembly of the common chaffinch (Aves: Fringilla Coelebs): a valuable resource for evolutionary biology

The common chaffinch, Fringilla coelebs, is one of the most common, widespread and well-studied passerines in Europe, with a broad distribution encompassing Western Europe and elements of Asia, North Africa and the Macaronesian archipelagos. We current a high-quality genome assembly of the common chaffinch generated utilizing Illumina shotgun sequencing together with Chicago and Hi-C libraries. … Read more
