A reference genome for the eastern bettong (Bettongia gaimardi) [version 1; peer review: awaiting peer review]

Abstract* The eastern or Tasmanian bettong ( Bettongia gaimardi) is one of four extant bettong species and is listed as 'Near Threatened' by the IUCN. We sequenced short read data on the 10x system to generate a reference genome 3.46Gb in size and contig N50 of 87.36Kb. Additionally, we us...

Description
Summary:Abstract* The eastern or Tasmanian bettong ( Bettongia gaimardi) is one of four extant bettong species and is listed as 'Near Threatened' by the IUCN. We sequenced short read data on the 10x system to generate a reference genome 3.46Gb in size and contig N50 of 87.36Kb. Additionally, we used GeMoMa to provide and accompanying annotation for the reference genome. The generation of a reference genome for the eastern bettong provides a vital resource for the conservation of the species.
