title: Near telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of the Beagle dog (<i>Canis lupus familiaris</i>)

description: The Beagle dog (<i>Canis lupus familiaris</i>) plays a dual role as both a beloved family pet and an invaluable research model animal. Here, we present the first telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of the Beagle dog. The genome assembly size is 2.46 Gb with a contig N50 of 63.17 Mb, and the largest contig spans 123.45 Mb. The BUSCO completeness is 98.30%. A total of 99.92% of the contigs were anchored to 38 acrocentric autosomes and a metacentric sex chromosome. Only 13 gaps remained to be resolved, and 29 out of the 39 chromosomes are telomere-to-telomere gap-free. Two hundred and seven out of the total 447 rRNA genes were enriched on chromosome 4. Repeats comprised 34.90% of the genome, which is higher than that of other canine genomes. A total of 21,146 protein-coding genes were predicted, and 99.68% of them were functionally annotated.

Well written. Dated A.H. 1017 [=1608-09 CE]. Diacritical points occasionally omitted. Vowel-points irregularly and not always carefully added. Fol. 112 mutilated.


A circumstantial account of the text of this MS. is given at the end (foll. 152-154). It was derived from two copies, one of which had been written by Rajâ b. al-Ḥasan b. al-Marzubân, and collated – among other اصول with a copy which had been read to Mutanabbi’, and again to Ibn Jinnî. The other copy had been verified by Mutanabbi’ himself. This text was subsequently collated with three copies, which were apparently arranged on the chronological principle.

Plainly written, by Muḥammad ‘Ârif Mangalkûtî, A.H. 1134, at Dehli ( في بلدة دار الخلافة ) . Marginal notes. The MS. is much injured by damp, and has partly become illegible.


II.Foll. 7-12. A short Commentary on an erotic Ḳaṣîdah, called اليتيمة , or the Orphan ; by ‘ABD AL-ḤAḲḲ B. ‘ABD AL-LAṬÎF ZUBAIRÎ.


The Ḳaṣîdah begins:


اراك طروباً والهاً كالمتيَّمِ تطوف باكناف السجاف المخيَّمِ


It is stated at the beginning of the commentary, that the poem was called the Orphan, because the author of it was not known. It is also mentioned there that two verses of it are quoted in Ḥarîrî’s preface to his Maḳâmât. Now in the commentary on that work, 1 these verses are attributed to ‘ADÎ B. AL-RIḲÂ ‘, ‘Âmilî, a contemporary of Jarîr,2 and to the same the whole Ḳaṣîdah is ascribed in a note at the end of this MS. But the two verses given in the said commentary as those immediately preceding the quotation do not agree with the present text. It is probable, therefore, that the Ḳaṣîdah is supposititious, and only framed on the metre and rhyme of the old verses found in Ḥarîrî, which have been put at the end of the composition.


III.Foll. 16-136. ZAUZANÎ’S Commentary on the Mu’allaḳât, with glosses.


The Mu’allaḳâh of ‘Amr stands here after that of ‘Antarah. Some of the verses have been omitted; hence arose some confusion in the text (fol.125).


On the few leaves which precede this piece are added a list of contents and various notes.


Written in Nasta’liḳ, partly on red paper; the text of the poems in a large Naskh. This is the copy of one Muḥammad Yûsuf. It was transcribed A.H. 1133, during the reign of Muḥammad Shâh, at Dehli (در دار الخلافة) .


The seal of Muḥammad Yûsuf is impressed on nos. II. And III.

804.


2700. Size 103/4 in. by 6 in.; foll. 40. Nineteen lines in a page.


The Poems of MAJNÛN ‘AMIRÎ (Ḳais b. al-Mulawwaḥ), accompanied by the history of the loves of Majnûm and Laila.


This collection is probably identical with the ديوان قيس بن عامر المجنون , mentioned in Ḥ. Kh. iii. 302.1


It is chiefly founded on the authority of Abu Bakr Wâlibî, who is mentioned at the beginning as follows: قال ابوبكر الوالبى كان من حديث مجنون العامرى وليلى العامرية الخ. As appears from fol. 33v., Wâlibî got his information from the famous Isḥâḳ b. Ibrâhîm Mauṣilî (d. A.H. 235).


Conclusion : هذا ما تناهى الينا من اخبار المجنون و اشعاره و ما كان خارجاً عمّا لم نكتبه فانّها منحولةٌ عليه من قصيدة او خبر.


Quite a modern copy, clearly written, but very incorrect. It was apparently taken from a mutilated MS. On foll. 15v., 19v., and 20 are lacunas.

1 It is, however, entirely different from the article on Majnûn in the كتاب الاغانى (Bûlâḳ edition, i. ۱۶۷۰).
