The western terrestrial garter snake (Thamnophis elegans) is found in western North American, and like many snake has venomous saliva. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP and B10K projects. Sequencing was conducted with PacBio long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics libraries at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Dovetail Genomics, and Illumina sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by the Olivier Fedrigo and Chai Fungtammasan, and supervised by Arang Rhie, using the VGP 1.5 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Coordination and funding of the genome was by Anne Bronikowski. 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/ Less...
