Description: Kiwis (Apteryx spp.) are flightless birds endemic to New Zealand. They are adapted to terrestrial life and ecological niches that, in other parts of the world, are occupied by mammals and reptiles. We sequenced and assembled the brown kiwi genome to identify the genetic changes underlying kiwi specific traits.
