Project name: Lemur catta isolate:mLemCat1

Description: The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur cata) is primate that like other lemurs is endemic to Madagascar. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP project. Sequencing was conducted with Pacific long reads, Bionano optical maps, and 10X Genomics libraries at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genomes Lab led by Olivier Fedrigo, HiC at Arima Genomics, and Illumina sequencing. Genome assembly was conducted by the Bettina Haase and Marcela Uliano-Silva, and supervised by Arang Rhie, using the VGP 1.6 pipeline. The primary haplotype was assembled to chromosomes, whereas the alternate as contigs only. Coordination and funding was done by Tomas Marques-Bonet. The raw data and assembly have been released from a G10K embargo as of Feb 22, 2022. Please cite Palmada-Flores et al GigaScience 2022 for the source of the genome.
