The reference sequence (RefSeq) genome assembly is derived from the submitted GenBank assembly (see linked project PRJNA360851). Annotation provided on the RefSeq genomic records is based on NCBI anno
This project collects the genomic and transcriptomic data generated for the beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas), to facilitate genome assembly and annotation as part of the Canadian BioGenome Project
Skin samples were collected from the beluga populations of Bristol Bay and Chukchi Sea (Point Lay) in Alaska. RNA sequencing was performed on Illumina NextSeq500 and de novo transcriptome assembly was
