Zapus hudsonius luteus
The meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius) is the most widely distributed mouse in the family Zapodidae. Its range extends from the Atlantic coast in the east to the Great Plains west, and from the arctic tree lines in Canada and Alaska to the north, and Georgia, Alabama, Arizona, and New Mexico to the south. In mid-2014, the New Mexico subspecies of the meadow jumping mouse, Zapus hudsonius luteus, was listed as an endangered species under the federal Endangered Species Act (from Wikipedia entry). This cell sample was cultured from a 3mm ear clipping procured from a female individual procured by Mark Brennan of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The sample was coordinated by Ben Novak of Revive & Restore and cultured by Sanaz Arenivas of ViaGen Pets 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.
