Background:

The grey-capped cuckoo (family Cuculidae) is found in Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Bonaire and the Galapagos Islands, and is a parental cuckoo species that builds a nest, incubates eggs and rears its own offspring. Grey-capped cuckoo high molecular weight (HMW) DNA isolated for sequencing is derived from an adult female provided by the Louisiana Museum of Natural History at Louisiana State University (LSUMZ B-5126). HMW DNA was used as input to generate Hifi reads using the Sequel II instrument (Pacific Biosciences) on Hifi mode. Total coverage used for assembly was 37x using a genome size estimate of 1.256 GB. All quality filtered sequence reads were assembled with Hifiasm v0.19.3-r572 using default parameter settings.
