Animal sample from Echinorhinus cookei (prickly shark) for VGP reference genome, sEchCoo1
Echinorhinus cookei
The prickly shark (Echinorhinus cookei) is one of the two species of sharks in the family Echinorhinidae (the other one is the bramble shark), found in the Pacific Ocean over continental and insular shelves and slopes, and in submarine canyons (from Wikipedia entry). This blood sample was collected from a stranded female individual on Sandholt Beach in California, 24-36 hours after death, by Ri Chang of the Monterey Bay Aquarium 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.
