Article Synopsis
- The Aeolian wall lizard, an endangered species native to the small islands of the Aeolian archipelago in Italy, is critically endangered due to limited habitat and declining populations.
- Researchers created a high-quality, chromosome-scale reference genome for this lizard using advanced sequencing technologies, which included detailed analysis of its Z and W sexual chromosomes.
- The resulting genome, which is comprehensive and well-assembled, will serve as a valuable resource for conserving this species and will improve the genetic understanding of other under-researched squamate reptiles.
