Alosa sapidissima (American shad) genome, fAloSap1, alternate haplotype. Alosa sapidissima isolate:fAloSap1

The American shad (Alosa sapidissima) is a species of anadromous clupeid fish (born in fresh water, but live as adults in salt water), distributed on the North American coast of the North Atlantic, from Newfoundland to Florida. They were common food for European colonist of the Eastern United States (source Wikipedia). This sample was collected from an adult female by Reid Hyle for Nina Overgaard Therkildsen, from the St. Johns River, Florida, USA , and used to generate a high-quality reference genome assembly for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted in the Vertebrate Genomes Lab, at the Rockefeller University, coordinated by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis. 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/about/data_use_policy.

美洲西鲱（*Alosa sapidissima*）是一种溯河洄游的鲱科鱼类，其幼体诞生于淡水环境，成体栖息于咸水环境，分布于北大西洋北美沿岸海域，范围从纽芬兰延伸至佛罗里达。它们曾是美国东部欧洲殖民者的常见食用鱼类（资料来源：维基百科）。本样本由Reid Hyle为Nina Overgaard Therkildsen从美国佛罗里达州圣约翰河的一尾成年雌性美洲西鲱个体采集获得，用于为脊椎动物基因组计划（Vertebrate Genomes Project, VGP）构建高质量参考基因组组装序列。测序与基因组组装工作由洛克菲勒大学脊椎动物基因组实验室开展，由Olivier Fedrigo与Erich D. Jarvis统筹协调。依据G10K（Genome 10K）数据使用政策（详见以下网址：https://genome10k.soe.ucsc.edu/about/data_use_policy），原始测序数据与基因组组装结果目前处于G10K-VGP出版限制期内，直至本说明被移除后方可解除相关限制。
