The Andean bear is the only extant member of the Tremarctine subfamily and the only extant ursid species to inhabit South America. Here, we present an annotated de novo assembly of a nuclear genome from a captive-born female Andean bear, Mischief, generated using a combination of short and long DNA and RNA reads. Our final assembly has a length of 2.23 Gb, and a scaffold N50 of 21.12 Mb, contig N50 of 23.5 kb, and BUSCO score of 88%. The Andean bear genome will be a useful resource for exploring the complex phylogenetic history of extinct and extant bear species and for future population genetics studies of Andean bears.

安第斯熊 Tremarctos ornatus 的注释基因组草案

安第斯熊是 Tremarctine 亚科中唯一现存的成员，也是唯一栖息在南美洲的现存熊科动物。在这里，我们展示了来自圈养出生的雌性安第斯熊 Mischief 的核基因组的带注释的从头组装，该基因组是使用短和长 DNA 和 RNA 读数的组合生成的。我们的最终组装长度为 2.23 Gb，支架 N50 为 21.12 Mb，重叠群 N50 为 23.5 kb，BUSCO 得分为 88%。安第斯熊基因组将成为探索已灭绝和现存熊类复杂系统发育历史以及安第斯熊未来种群遗传学研究的有用资源。
