A near-complete chromosome-level genome assembly for the rodent Microtus fortis, including both X and Y chromosomes. The data was generated by Zixue Li using PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing technologies and was last updated on April 15, 2026. This resource is intended for genetic studies of the species' unique resistance to the Schistosoma japonicum parasite.
Use Cases
- Comparative genomics analysis based on the chromosome-level assembly
- Investigating genetic mechanisms of Schistosoma resistance based on the described model organism
- Studying sex chromosome evolution and differences based on the inclusion of X and Y assemblies
Strengths
- Includes both X and Y chromosome assemblies, which the description notes were previously lacking
- Built from PacBio HiFi and Hi-C data, suggesting high sequence accuracy and long-range contiguity
- Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
