Phyllostomus discolor (pale spear-nosed bat) is a bat species in the family of Phyllostomidae and lives in Central and South America. This assembly has been produced as part of the Bat1K Project. DNA was collected from a male, caught from a captive colony of LMU in Munich, Germany by Sonja Vernes from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen. The samples were prepared in the Vertebrate Genome Lab at the Rockefeller University and in the Long Read team of the DRESDEN concept Genome Center. Sequencing was conducted at Rockefeller University, DRESDEN concept Genome Center, and Arima Genomics. Genome assembly, annotation and manual curation of chromosomes was conducted by the Bat1K group, and in particular by Martin Pippel of Gene Myers lab and David Jebb of Michael Hiller's lab at MPI-CBG. The primary haplotype contains the longest contigs of the DAmar assembly, phased with 10X linked reads, scaffolded with Bionano optical maps, and Phase Genomics HiC reads. Funding was from HHMI (Jarvis), the Max Planck Society, and individual grants and awards to the persons listed above. The raw data and assembly are currently under a Bat1K publication embargo until removed from this description, following the Bat1K data use policy at the following URL: https://bat1k.ucd.ie/about/
