Last week, the California Conservation Genomics Project launched a new tracking system to keep up with the progress of their reference genomes assemblies (https://www.ccgproject.org/reference-genomes-tracking). With over 100 new species being sequenced, this website tracker will show you the progress of each of the key steps.
The first HiFi reads for a MariNet genome reference genome were finalized over a week ago, we are well on our way to having a chromosome-level genome of Mytilus californianus. Thread your byssals around that news!
