The swift parrot ( ) is a Critically Endangered migratory parrot that breeds in Tasmania and winters on the Australian mainland. Here we provide a reference genome assembly for the swift parrot. We sequence PacBio HiFi reads to create a high-quality reference assembly and identify a complete mitochondrial sequence. We also generate a reference transcriptome from five organs to inform genome annotation. The genome was 1.24 Gb in length and consisted of 847 contigs with a contig N50 of 18.97 Gb and L50 of 20 contigs. This study provides an annotated reference assembly and transcriptomic resources for the swift parrot to assist in future conservation genomic research.
栗额鹦鹉（）是一种极危迁徙鹦鹉，在塔斯马尼亚繁殖，冬季在澳大利亚大陆越冬。这里我们提供栗额鹦鹉的参考基因组组装。我们使用 PacBio HiFi reads 进行测序，以创建高质量的参考组装并确定完整的线粒体序列。我们还从五个器官生成参考转录组，以提供基因组注释信息。基因组大小为 12.4 亿碱基对，由 847 个 contigs 组成，contig N50 为 189.7 兆碱基对，L50 为 20 个 contigs。本研究为栗额鹦鹉提供了一个注释的参考组装和转录组资源，以协助未来的保护基因组学研究。
