Genome sequencing and assembly of the Santa Marta harlequin toad, Atelopus laetissimus
This project aims to generate a high-quality reference genome for this endangered amphibian species, the Santa Marta harlequin toad. By sequencing and assembling its genome, this study seeks to provide essential genomic resources that will enable a deeper understanding of the genus' evolutionary history, population genetics, and adaptive potential. The project contributes to the broader understanding of amphibian genetics and conservation genomics, offering a valuable reference for comparative studies across the genus Atelopus.
