Carcharodon carcharias (Great white shark) genome, sCarCar2

The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) can be found in the coastal surface waters of all the major oceans, and is one of the larger size sharks. 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 Giulio Formenti, 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 Gavin Naylor. 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/
