The sensory shark: high-quality morphological, genomic and transcriptomic data for the small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula reveal the molecular bases of sensory organ evolution in jawed vertebrates.

Cartilaginous fishes (chondrichthyans: chimaeras and elasmobranchs -sharks, skates and rays) hold a key phylogenetic position to explore the origin and diversifications of jawed vertebrates. Here, we report and integrate reference genomic, transcriptomic and morphological data in the small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula to shed light on the evolution of sensory organs. We first characterise general aspects of the catshark genome, confirming the high conservation of genome organisation across cartilaginous fishes, and investigate population genomic signatures.

The genome sequence of the Small Emerald, (Esper, 1795).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male (the Small Emerald; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 438.2 megabases in span.

The genome sequence of Ashworth's Rustic, (Doubleday, 1855).

We present a genome assembly from an individual male (Ashworth's Rustic; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 726.3 megabases in span.

The genome sequence of the short-fringed mining bee, (Kirby, 1802).

We present a genome assembly from an individual female (the short-fringed mining bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The genome sequence is 277.3 megabases in span.
