Genomic Analyses Unveil Helmeted Guinea Fowl (Numida meleagris) Domestication in West Africa [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2021
Abstract Domestication of the helmeted guinea fowl (HGF; Numida meleagris) in Africa remains elusive. Here we report a high-quality de novo genome assembly for domestic HGF generated by long- and short-reads sequencing together with optical and chromatin interaction mapping.
