Petromyzon marinus (Sea Lamprey) genome, kPetMar1

The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is a parasitic jawless fish native to the Northern Hemisphere, and important for evolutionary studies of vertebrates. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP project. Sequencing was conducted with PacBio long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics linked reads at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by Olivier Fedrigo, and supervised by Arang Rhie, using the VGP 1.6 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Genome coordination and funding was by Jeremiah Smith and Andrew Muir. 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/data-use-policies/
