Pristis pectinata (Smalltooth sawfish) genome, sPriPec2

The smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) is found in shallow tropical and subtropical waters in coastal and estuarine parts of the Atlantic, and is a critically endangered of becoming extinct. 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 Arang Rhie, using the VGP 1.5 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/
