Inia boliviensis isolate:18_3_S Genome sequencing

Inia boliviensis, the endemic Bolivian river dolphin, is threatened by anthropogenic activities including diversion of waterways for irrigation of agricultural fields, habitat degradation through deforestation, and the construction of hydroelectric dams. Within the department of Santa Cruz in Bolivia, conservation partners are committed to the capture and relocation of river dolphins that have been isolated through seasonally changing waterways. During these rescue attempts, tissue samples were taken, allowing for DNA extraction and whole-genome sequencing. This resource will benefit our understanding of I. boliviensis population genetics and structure and inform effective management of these vulnerable populations.

玻利维亚河豚（Inia boliviensis）是玻利维亚特有淡水豚类，其生存受到多类人类活动的威胁，包括农田灌溉所需的河道引水改道、森林砍伐引发的生境退化，以及水电大坝的修建。在玻利维亚圣克鲁斯省，保护合作团队正致力于对因季节性河道变化而被隔离的河豚个体实施捕获与迁地救护。在此次营救行动期间，研究人员采集了组织样本，用于DNA提取与全基因组测序工作。该数据集资源将助力我们深入理解玻利维亚河豚的种群遗传学特征与种群结构，并为这些脆弱种群的科学有效管理提供参考依据。
