The Sand lizard is one of the most widely distributed reptile species in the world, covering a distribution range from central Asia to the United Kingdom, East-West, and from the Mediterranean to Sweden, South-North. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP project. Sequencing was conducted with PacBio long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics linked reads at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by Olivier Fedrigo and Bettina, and supervised by Arang Rhie, using the VGP 1.5 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Genome coordination and funding was by Mette Lillie, Mats Olsson, and Neil Gemmell. The raw data and assembly are currently under a G10K-VGP publication embargo until removed from this description, following the G10K data use policy at the following URL: https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu/data-use-policies/ Less...
