DO - 10.5524/101036 UR - http://gigadb.org/dataset/101036 AB - The Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) is known for its elaborate mating display and is the largest member of the Grebe family in the Old World. In the 19th century, the species was almost hunted to extinction in the UK for its head plumes, which were used to decorate hats and other female attire.These data have been produced as part of the avian phylogenomic project. DNA from the Podiceps cristatus was collected in Denmark. We sequenced the genome to a depth of approximately 30X. The assembled scaffolds of high quality sequences total 1.15Gb, with the contig and scaffold N50 values of 13kb and 30kb respectively. We identified 13,913 protein-coding genes with a mean length of 10.4kb. KW - Genomic PY - 2014 PB - GigaScience Database LA - en ER -
