This sample of a male is from a collection at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, in Barcelona Spain. It was procured by Tomas Marques-Bonet at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, to generate a high-quality reference for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genomes Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis. This assembly is under the limited use G10K embargo policy from the date of submission: https://genome10k.ucsc.edu/data-use-policies/
