Eleutherodactylus coqui (Common coqui) transcriptome, aEleCoq2

The coqui (Eleutherodactylus coqui) is a frog species native to Puerto Rico. The species is named for the loud call the males make at night. The "CO" sounds serves to repel other males and establish territory while the "KEE" sound serves to attract females. It was accidentally introduced to Hawaii in the 1980s, and became an invasive species (description modified from Wikipedia entry). This sample is from a female collected in Hawaii by Mara Laslo and coordinated with Matthew Gage of the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, to be used to generate transcriptome data for aEleCoq1 reference genome of the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genomes Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis.

科奎蛙（Eleutherodactylus coqui）是一种原产于波多黎各的蛙类物种。该物种因其雄性个体夜间发出的响亮鸣叫声而得名：其中"CO"音用于驱赶其他雄性以划定领地，"KEE"音则用于吸引雌性个体。该物种于20世纪80年代意外传入夏威夷，现已成为入侵物种（本描述改编自维基百科词条）。本次样本为Mara Laslo在夏威夷采集的雌性个体，由哈佛大学比较动物学博物馆的Matthew Gage负责协调，该样本将用于生成脊椎动物基因组计划（Vertebrate Genomes Project, VGP）的aEleCoq1参考基因组的转录组数据。测序及基因组组装工作由洛克菲勒大学脊椎动物基因组实验室（Vertebrate Genomes Lab, VGL）的Olivier Fedrigo与Erich D. Jarvis主导完成。
