Zalophus californianus (California sea lion) genome, mZalCal1, primary haplotype. Zalophus californianus isolate:mZalCal1

As an apex marine predator, the California sea lion is an important indicator species for the impact of anthropogenic pollution on ocean health. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP Project, and supported by Jochen Wolf, Professor of Evolutionary Biology, LMU Munich, Germany. DNA was collected from from a juvenile male at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California. The sample was sequenced using the VGP 1.6 individual pipeline at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genome Lab, led by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich Jarvis. Manual curation of chromosomes and other genomic features was conducted by the gEVAL group led by Kerstin Howe at the Sanger Institute. The primary haplotype contains the longest contigs of the Pacbio FALCON unzip assembly, scaffolded with 10X linked reads, Bionano optical maps, and Arima HiC reads, with multiple tools to further separate out haplotypes. 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

作为顶级海洋捕食者，加州海狮(California sea lion)是反映人为污染对海洋健康影响的重要指示物种。本基因组组装为G10K-VGP项目(G10K-VGP Project)的成果之一，得到德国慕尼黑路德维希-马克西米利安大学（LMU Munich）进化生物学教授约亨·沃尔夫（Jochen Wolf）的支持。
DNA样本采集自加州索萨利托海洋哺乳动物中心的一只幼年雄性个体。该样本通过洛克菲勒大学脊椎动物基因组实验室（由奥利维耶·费德里戈(Olivier Fedrigo)与埃里希·贾维斯(Erich Jarvis)牵头）的VGP 1.6个体测序流程完成测序。
染色体及其他基因组特征的人工注释工作，由桑格研究所(Sanger Institute)克尔斯滕·豪(Kerstin Howe)领导的gEVAL工作组完成。该组装的主要单倍型采用PacBio FALCON Unzip组装中最长的重叠群(contigs)，通过10X连锁读段、Bionano光学图谱及Arima HiC读段进行锚定挂载，并借助多种工具进一步区分单倍型。
根据G10K数据使用政策（详见以下统一资源定位符(URL)：https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu/about/data_use_policy），在本描述移除相关内容前，原始数据与基因组组装结果均处于G10K-VGP项目的论文出版禁令限制中。
