Contig N50 and scaffold N50 lengths are in the range of 31 to 41 and 66 to 69 Mb, respectively. A large part of these two haplotypes (83.8% and 90.4%, respectively) are scaffolded into 34 autosomal chromosomal pseudomolecules, and in sex chromosomes X and Y for hap 1. The BUSCO completeness scores are 98.0% and 95.2%, respectively, and gene annotations of the assemblies identified 37,998 and 36,977 protein-coding genes.

In recent years, the development and use of pangenomes, a genomic representation of multiple individuals within a lineage (a set of related populations, subspecies, ecotypes, or species), has enabled researchers to differentiate between DNA sequences shared by all individuals of a given lineage (core regions) from those present only in some individuals (accessory or variable regions). Differentiating between core and accessory regions has highlighted a key limitation of relying on a single reference genome: It captures the genetic code of only one individual and this biases genomic analyses and our understanding of diversification. Here, we propose that by identifying genes associated with both core and accessory regions, we can deepen our understanding of the processes underlying diversification. We suggest that analyzing pangenomes and accessory regions will provide deeper insights into diversification, hybridization, and the genetic basis of adaptation and speciation.", "doi": "10.1002/ajb2.70130", "pmid": "41345855", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC12712766"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T06:28:24.994Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T06:28:25.286Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "d26c5004293a4ea7b4613b8f3053e8ac", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/d26c5004293a4ea7b4613b8f3053e8ac.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/d26c5004293a4ea7b4613b8f3053e8ac"}}, "title": "Chromosome-level genome assembly of Norwegian wild alpine reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus tarandus )", "authors": [{"family": "T\u00f8rresen", "given": "Ole K", "initials": "OK", "orcid": "0000-0002-1932-8212", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/9d2f90dfcdde43d597ac37a347c44ff5.json"}}, {"family": "Tooming-Klunderud", "given": "Ave", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0009-0008-0057-2873", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/a83f56872d6a4b0fb91504e15cafa9eb.json"}}, {"family": "Skage", "given": "Morten", "initials": "M", "orcid": "0000-0002-5312-8038", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/b3f666519e7d400fa772046cad3844f4.json"}}, {"family": "Streitlien", "given": "Anne Eline", "initials": "AE"}, {"family": "Strand", "given": "Olav", "initials": "O"}, {"family": "Rolandsen", "given": "Christer M", "initials": "CM", "orcid": "0000-0002-5628-0385", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/72a91e483949447789bd7230f8bc5b7e.json"}}, {"family": "Ferrari", "given": "Giada", "initials": "G", "orcid": "0000-0002-0850-1518", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/6679779a21914fb496849057cccbf984.json"}}, {"family": "Cerca", "given": "Jos\u00e9", "initials": "J", "orcid": "0000-0001-7788-4367", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/b9119ffe17f1400ea74e0eaf43c105fc.json"}}, {"family": "Mysterud", "given": "Atle", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0001-8993-7382", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/f36192bbe8634b818745104303041e90.json"}}, {"family": "Jakobsen", "given": "Kjetill S", "initials": "KS", "orcid": "0000-0002-8861-5397", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/f2fe02e097b342508301397260ef7cc3.json"}}], "type": "posted-content", "published": "2025-05-16", "journal": {"issn-l": null}, "abstract": null, "doi": "10.1101/2025.05.15.652595", "pmid": null, "labels": [], "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T11:03:51.677Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T11:05:35.656Z"}]}
