| ancillary_notes | This bird is taken from a captive population of zebra finches housed at Macquarie University Fauna Park, established from wild birds from Fowler's Gap in western NSW in 2009. She has previously been sequenced with short read data and is known to have the inversion haplotypes chr5:AA, chr11: AB, chr13: AB, chrZ: B. |
