Genome assembly of wisent (Bison bonasus) uncovers a deletion that likely inactivates the THRSP gene

Abstract The wisent (Bison bonasus) is Europe’s largest land mammal. We produced a HiFi read-based wisent assembly with a contig N50 value of 91 Mb containing 99.7% of the highly conserved single copy mammalian genes which improves contiguity a thousand-fold over an existing assembly. Extended runs...
