Tenrec ecaudatus raw sequencing data
Tenrec ecaudatus (Schreber, 1778), also known by the common name "tailless tenrec" or "common tenrec", is the only species of tenrec to have been introduced through human activity to several islands along the Mascarenhas archipelago, the Comoros and the Seychelles, despite being native to the island of Madagascar alongside all other Malagasy tenrecs. These small mammals display impressive thermal plasticity and unique reproductive adaptations. The sample was obtained from a lab-reared female individual (F20376) from the captive breeding facility at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Multiple organ tissues were processed at FaunaBio and sequenced at UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA on a PacBio Sequel II system. Genome assembly and annotation was carried out by the Hiller Lab at the Senckenberg Research Institute, Frankfurt, Germany.
