Zusammenfassung:The mule deer Odocoileus hemionus is an ungulate species that ranges from western Canada to central Mexico. Mule deer are an essential source of food for many predators, are relatively abundant, and commonly make broad migration movements. A clearer understanding of the mule deer genome can help facilitate knowledge of its population genetics, movements, and demographic history, aiding in conservation efforts. While mule deer are excellent candidates for population genomic studies because of their large population size, continuous distribution, and diversity of habitat, few genomic resources are currently available for this species. Here, we sequence and assemble the mule deer genome into a highly contiguous chromosome-length assembly for use in future research using long-read sequencing and Hi-C. We also provide a genome annotation and compare demographic histories of the mule deer and white-tail deer using PSMC. We expect this assembly to be a valuable resource in the continued study and conservation of mule deer.
