This study utilizes a hybrid sequencing approach to assemble and annotate the genome of the ball python (Python regius). Ball pythons are a unique model organism that have been used to study physiolog
A severe respiratory disease has been observed in captive ball pythons (Python regius) since the late 1990s. In order to identify the etiology of this disease, we collected case and control samples an
Genomic basis of piebaldism in ball pythons (Python regius). Whole-genome sequencing of two pools (HiSeqX), one with the piebald phenotype and one reference pool (i.e., case-control design).
whole-genome pool-seq data of case (axanthic) and control (non-axanthic) samples. Case samples are expected to be homozygous for the derived allele, thus showing the recessive axanthic phenotype. Cont
