The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) population genomics project aims to understand the genetic diversity, population structure, inbreeding and genetic load of one of most endangered carnivore i
The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) was declared extinct in 1987 due to disease and loss of habitat and its primary prey, the prairie dog. Shortly thereafter, BFF was re-discovered in Wyoming i
Ferrets were swabbed twice before and 4-days after treatment. DNA was extracted from ferret nasal and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was performed on the Illumina MiSeq platform.
This is the reference sequence (RefSeq) assembly for the Mustela nigripes isolate:SB6536 genome. It is derived from the submitted GenBank assembly (see linked project PRJNA634921). Annotation provided
