white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla)

Caption

One of the species for which a high-quality reference genome is now also available for the first time is the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla). With this reference genome, it will be possible in future, for example, to investigate genetic disorders for which only the symptoms are currently known.
