Figshare repository for "De novo transcriptome assembly and genome annotation of the fat-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicaudata)" For additional info or help with contents, please contact Neke Ibeh: oibeh@student.unimelb.edu.au CONTENTS Dunnart_asm_12-2021_sm.fa - The draft genome assembly of the fat-tailed dunnart. We employed a hybrid approach, which integrated ONT and PacBio long-read data with Illumina paired-end short reads. Dunnart_asm_12-2021_sm_BUSCO_summary.txt - BUSCO (v5.2.2) summary statistics for the draft genome assembly. Dunnart_trinity_k29_output.Trinity.fasta - Trinity (v2.13.2) de novo multi-tissue transcriptome assembly. We used a total of 24 dunnart RNA-seq samples, originating from the liver, testis, prostate, ovary, oviduct, uterus, eye, whole neonate, allantois, amnion, distal yolk sac, proximal yolk sac, and endometrium. Dunnart_trinity_k29_BUSCO_summary.txt - BUSCO (v5.2.2) summary statistics for the transcriptome assembly. transcriptome_evaluation.txt - Code and parameters used for filtering the transcriptome, evaluating transcriptome quality, ORF prediction, and transcriptome functional annotation. maker_bopts.ctl - MAKER control file specifying the parameters for the evidence aligners. maker_opts.ctl - MAKER control file specifying the parameters for the decision making process during gene building. Sminthopsis_crassicaudata_1.gtf - De novo annotation of the fat-tailed dunnart genome. Annotation of the dunnart genome was conducted using a combination of ab initio gene prediction algorithms and homology-based methods.
