The bottlenose dolphin is the most common species of the family Delphinidae, and one of the best studied vocal learning mammals. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP project. DNA was collected from a family trio, using the parental sequence to sort out haplotype reads of the child. Samples were collected and procured by Leigh Clayton, Jill Arnold, Winston Timp, of Norah Hilger the National Aquarium in Baltimore, MD, and Julie Cavin of Gulf World Marine Park in Florida. Sequencing was conducted with Pacific long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics libraries at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina sequencing at NovaGene. Genome assembly was conducted by the Brigid Maloney and Giulio Formenti, and supervised by Arang Rhie, using a trio assembly approach of parent DNA to sort out the child Pacbio haplotype reads. Funding was from HHMI to Erich Jarvis and Rockefeller University to Marcelo Magnasco, and individual grants and awards to the persons listed above. 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/about/data_use_policy Less...
