An Annotated Draft Genome for the Andean Bear,Tremarctos ornatus [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2021
AbstractThe Andean bear is the only extant member of the Tremarctine subfamily and the only extant ursid species to inhabit South America. Here, we present an annotated de novo assembly of a nuclear genome from a captive-born female Andean bear, Mischief, generated using a combination of short and long DNA and RNA reads. Our final assembly has a length
