description: The Rock ptarmigan is a bird species belonging to the Phasianidae family. The species has a circumpolar distribution inhabiting sub-arctic and arctic regions in addition to a few more southern alpine regions. This sample is being included in the Vertebrate Genomes Project. The sample was collected by Kristinn P. Magnusson who also provided the finances for the project through his Icelandic Research Fund grant 206529-052, together with Jacob Hoglund with grant VR 2018-04635.
