DO - 10.5524/101030 UR - http://gigadb.org/dataset/101030 AB - The Brown Mesite (Mesitornis unicolor) is a ground-dwelling bird native to Madagascar, and is one of three species of the Mesitornithidae family. It is a medium-sized terrestial bird that inhabits humid forests and prefers lower elevations - making it a vunerable population.These data have been produced as part of the avian phylogenomic project. DNA from the Mesitornis unicolor was collected in Fivondronana de Tolagnaro, Toliara, Madagascar. We sequenced the genome to a depth of approximately 29X. The assembled scaffolds of high quality sequences total 1.1Gb, with the contig and scaffold N50 values of 18kb and 46kb respectively. We identified 15,371 protein-coding genes with a mean length of 11.4kb. KW - Genomic PY - 2014 PB - GigaScience Database LA - en ER -
