To investigate the evolutionary history and adaptive signatures of mink subspecies, chromosome-scale genome assemblies were generated for six individuals representing three southern subspecies: N. vison evergladensis, N. vison vulgivaga, and N. vison lutensis. Genomes were assembled using Illumina short reads, scaffolded with Oxford Nanopore long reads, and aligned to the phased N. vison reference genome. Assemblies ranged from 75.9% to 97.8% complete, with five meeting thresholds for pangenome construction. A reference-free pangenome revealed an open architecture, highlighting considerable genomic diversity among subspecies.

This project combines our own and well-known camera trap image classification pre-trained models under one roof. It integrates them via an ensemble model to increase the trustworthiness of the classification decision.
