Chlamydotis macqueenii (MacQueen's bustard) genome, bChlMac3, sequence data

MacQueen's bustard (Chlamydotis macqueenii) is a large bird in the bustard family, renowned for its distinctive courtship display and adaptation to arid landscapes. It is native to the desert and steppe regions of Asia, west from the Sinai Peninsula extending across Kazakhstan east to Mongolia. This sample (bChlMac3) is from a female, bred at the Rawdat Al Faras Houbara Breeding Center, in Qatar. The sample was part of a trio (offspring bChlMac1 and male bChlMac2). These samples were collected and coordinated by Farooq Omar Al-Ajli (Katara Biodiversity Genomes Program), to create trio-based high-quality assemblies of the maternal and paternal haplotypes for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP) and Qatar Biodiversity Genomes Project (QBGP). Sequencing was done at the Vertebrate Genomes Lab (VGL) at Rockefeller University, led by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis. Genome assembly was conducted at Sidra Medicine by Farooq Omar Al-Ajli and Khalid A. Fakhro in collaboration with VGL.
