Nota

With over 10,000 recognized species, birds constitute one of the most diverse and widely distributed vertebrate groups. Although avian genomics has advanced rapidly over the past decade, substantial gaps remain across the global avifauna. Filling these gaps is essential for understanding macroevolutionary patterns, population structure, and the molecular basis of ecological and behavioral diversity. Worldwide museum collections represent invaluable resources for filling these gaps, yet the typically degraded DNA and limited quantities from historical specimens have posed significant challenges for generating high-quality genome assemblies.
