D.L. constructed the meeting pipeline with assist from G.F., L.A., C.G.-A., B.G., A.O., H.C., M.U.-S., B.D.P., A.R., M.v.d.B. and the VGP meeting working group. L.A., A.D., G.R.G., A.M.G., G.M.G., N.J., C.J., B.O., S.S., M.S. and T.T. generated one or a number of assemblies used within the analyses. B.J.Ok., Ok.R. and M.J.P.C. validated the zebra finch assemblies. J.C. carried out the handbook curation on the zebra finch meeting. L.A. assembled and evaluated the mitochondrial genomes. N.B. established the decontamination pipeline and carried out the contamination analyses. N.B. and M.P.-F. in contrast the scaffolding methods. A.N. carried out the analyses on XBP1. C.G.-A. and B.D.P. developed the coaching materials with assist from the consumer group. Ok.H. and M.C. sourced and organized for pattern procurement for species on this research. J.R.B., N.J., T.T., B.O’T., O.F., C.L., H.Ok., T.M.-B. and R.M.W. generated the PacBio and Hello-C information. G.F., M.C.S., A.N., A.M.P. and E.D.J. conceived the research and drafted the manuscript. All authors, together with A.A. and R.W.W., contributed to writing and modifying the manuscript and accredited it.
