Supplementary Tables of Whole Genome Sequencing and Assembly of the House Sparrow, Passer domesticus

<h2>Abstract</h2> <p>The common house sparrow,&nbsp;<em>Passer domesticus</em>&nbsp;is a small bird belonging to Passeridae. We provide here a high-quality whole genome sequencing and assembly for the house sparrow, The final genome assembly was made using a Shovill/SPAdes which consisted of contigs spanning 268193 bases. We employed rigorous statistical thresholds to check the coverage as the Passer genome showed considerable similarity with&nbsp;<em>Gallus gallus</em>&nbsp;(chicken) and&nbsp;<em>Taeniopygia guttata</em>&nbsp;(Zebra finch) genomes providing a functional annotation. This new annotated genome assembly will be a valuable resource as a reference for comparative and population genomic analyses of passerine, avian, and vertebrate evolution</p> <div> <p><strong>Significance</strong>&nbsp;Avian evolution has been of great interest in the context of extinction. Annotating the genomes such as Passerines would be a significant interest as we could understand the behavior/foraging traits and further explore their evolutionary landscape. In this work, we provide a full genome sequence of Indian house sparrow,&nbsp;<em>viz. Passer domesticus</em> which will serve as a useful resource in understanding the adaptability, evolution, geography, Allee effects and circadian rhythms.</p> </div>
