The huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) is an endangered cervid endemic to the Andean–Patagonian region of South America, where it persists in small, fragmented populations. The lack of a reference genome has limited genomic approaches to huemul conservation and evolutionary research. Despite moderate theoretical coverage (...
