As an apex marine predator, the California sea lion is an important indicator species for the impact of anthropogenic pollution on ocean health. This assembly has been produced as part of the G10K-VGP Project, and supported by Jochen Wolf, Professor of Evolutionary Biology, LMU Munich, Germany. DNA was collected from from a juvenile male at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California. The sample was sequenced using the VGP 1.6 individual pipeline at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genome Lab, led by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich Jarvis. Manual curation of chromosomes and other genomic features was conducted by the gEVAL group led by Kerstin Howe at the Sanger Institute. The primary haplotype contains the longest contigs of the Pacbio FALCON unzip assembly, scaffolded with 10X linked reads, Bionano optical maps, and Arima HiC reads, with multiple tools to further separate out haplotypes.
