Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reference genomes for the entire sea turtle clade have the potential to reveal the genetic basis of traits driving the ecological and phenotypic diversity in these ancient and iconic marine species. Furthermore, these genomic resources can support conservation efforts and deepen our understanding of their unique evolution. RESULTS: We present haplotype-resolved, chromosome-level reference genomes and...
