ERGA-BGE reference genome of the Azores Bullfinch - Pyrrhula murina Godman, 1866: an IUCN Vulnerable Species endemic to a single island in the Azores Archipelago (Portugal)
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The reference genome of Pyrrhula murina ’s reference genome will substantially enhance the current monitoring of genetic diversity and population viability and will allow us to understand the effective population size trends throughout time and recent bottlenecks and population expansions. A total of 42 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules were assembled from the genome sequence, using ONT, HI-C and Illumina data. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 1.2 Gb, composed of 65 contigs and 60 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 65 Mb and 76 Mb, respectively.
