title: Animal sample from Pseudopleuronectes americanus (winter flounder) for VGP reference genome, fPseAme1
organism: Pseudopleuronectes americanus
description: The winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus), also known as the black back, is a right-eyed ("dextral") flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. It is native to coastal waters of the western north Atlantic coast, from Labrador, Canada to Georgia, United States, although it is less common south of Delaware Bay (from Wikipedia entry). This sample of a male individual from Newman Sound in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada was procured by Steven Duffy and Nicole Smith and coordinated by Ian Bradbury to generate a high-quality reference genome for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genome Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Erich D. Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, and Jennifer Balacco. Manual curation was done by Genoscope in France.
