The Complete Genome Sequence of the Caspian seal <i>Pusa caspica</i> (Gmelin, 1788)
The Caspian seal ( Pusa caspica ) is a member of the earless (Phocidae) family, and the only mammal endemic to the brackish Caspian Sea. We generated a whole genome sequence of this species using the Illumina Paired-end short reads whole genome sequencing approach. The DNA reads were assembled using the Abyss2 de novo assembly approach. The raw data and genome assembly were deposited in NCBI, being publicly available via GenBank, with Sequence Read Archive SRR32005400, assembled genome Accession (JBLQUN010000000), under BioProject PRJNA1211000.
