Bombina bombina (European fire-bellied toad) genome, aBomBom1, alternate haplotype. Bombina bombina isolate:aBomBom1

The European fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina) is a species of fire-bellied toad native to eastern parts of mainland Europe, where it can be found near waterbodies such as ponds and marshes (Wikipedia entry). This genome is from a male collected in Ksiaz Wielki, Poland, by the Departments of Natural Resources (exact location not known), procured by Jacek Szymura of Jagiellonian University, Faculty of Biology, Institute of Zoology and Biomedical Research in Krakow, and used to generate a high-quality reference for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Max Planck, Dresden Genome Center, led by Gene Myers and Sylke Winkler.
