Blue-eyed black lemur (Eulemur flavifrons)
These lemurs have stunning blue eyes, as the name suggests. Blue-eyed black lemurs are critically endangered! Read more about blue-eyed black lemurs on Duke Lemur Center website.

Chromosome-length genome assembly
Description of chromosome-length genome assembly.
Draft
About the draft assembly.
Draft reference
Method
3D Assembly was performed using 3D-DNA pipeline (Dudchenko et al., Science, 2017). The genome was reviewed using Juicebox Assembly Tools (Dudchenko et al., bioRxiv, 2018). See Methods for more information.
Hi-C sample
Hi-C Sample
Hi-C Contact maps
Hi-C data was aligned to the draft reference using Juicer (Durand, Shamim et al., Cell Systems, 2016), and contact maps visualizing the alignments with respect to the draft and the new reference were built using 3D-DNA (Dudchenko et al., Science, 2017). The contact maps can be explored below via Juicebox.js interactive tool (Robinson et al., Cell Systems, 2018). (Please note that the interactive figures are scaled 1:2.) To explore the assembly in greater detail, please download the .hic and .assembly files from the data release folder and use Juicebox Assembly Tools (Dudchenko et al., bioRxiv, 2018).
