Dendropsophus ebraccatus (hourglass treefrog) transcriptome aDenEbr1
The hourglass treefrog (Dendropsophus ebraccatus) name refers to its hourglass shape. The hourglass treefrog is found throughout Central America. It has plasticity in reproduction, laying eggs in water under some conditions and laying eggs on land under others. This assembly is from a trio of samples, with the parents (mother aDenEbr4 and father aDenEbr5) used to sort the haplotype reads of the child (aDenEbr1) to produce high-quality assemblies of both maternal and paternal inherited haplotypes. Justin Touchon from Vassar College collected and bred the animals, and coordinated the project. Genome sequencing and assembly was coordinated by Erich D. Jarvis and Olivier Fedrigo at the Rockefeller University Vertebrate Genome Lab, and as part of the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP).
