It is an iconic migratory passerine bird characterized by steely-blue upperparts and a deeply forked tail, with at least eight recognised subspecies in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP and B10K projects. Sequencing was conducted on a with Pacific long reads and Bionano DLS at the University of Milan led by Giulio Formenti, 10X Genomics libraries at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina short reads sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by Simona Secomandi using the VGP 1.6 pipeline. The raw data and assembly are currently under a G10K-VGP publication embargo until removed from this description, following the G10K data use policy at the following URL: https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu/data-use-policies/ENAHaplotype., Genomes, RauchschwalbeRauchschwalbe.0.00.00.00.00.0falseHirundo rustica isolate:bHirRus1Hirundo rustica (Barn swallow) genome, bHirRus1, alternate haplotype2022-05-122020-06-02PRJNA63619143150
