Animal sample from Osmerus mordax (rainbow smelt) for VGP reference genome, fOsmMor3 - muscle
Osmerus mordax
The rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) is a North American species of fish of the family Osmeridae. The North American native range of the rainbow smelt extends through the Atlantic drainages between New Jersey and Labrador to Arctic drainages, and the Pacific drainages as far south as Vancouver Island (from Wikipedia entry). This sample of a male individual found in Canada was procured by Ian Bradbury and Amber Messmer 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.
