More...The Cape dwarf chameleon (Bradypodion pumilum) is a chameleon native to the South African province of the Western Cape, where it is restricted to the region around Cape Town. As with most chameleons, its tongue is twice the length of its body and it can be shot out of its mouth using a special muscle in the jaw. This gives the chameleon the ability to catch insects some distance away (from Wikipedia entry).
This is an update of a previous assembly (GCA_035047305.1) that was assembled by the South African National Biodiversity Institute as a pseudohaplotype assembly generated by Dovetail, led by Anthony Geneva and Jody Taft. This re-assembly was conducted using Hifiasm in Hi-C phasing mode at the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, and Jennifer Balacco.
