Ranitomeya variabilis (Zimmermann's poison frog) genome, aRanVar5, sequence data

Ranitomeya variabilis is a species of small poison dart frog distributed in northern Peru, along the eastern slope of Andes in the upper Rio Huallaga drainage basin. Its common name, Zimmerman's poison frog, is named after Elke Zimmermann, a German zoologist who described the morph of this species and differentiated it from D. ventrimaculatus. The species was formerly considered to be synonymous with Ranitomeya ventrimaculata (from Wikipedia entry). This sample of a male individual was sourced and collected from a laboratory colony at Stanford University by Jessica Nowicki, Dave Ramirez, Billie Goolsby, and Lauren O'Connell to generate a high-quality reference genome for a neuroscience project and the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, and Jennifer Balacco.
