A chromosome-level genome assembly of the European green toad (<i>Bufotes viridis</i>)
2025
Abstract The European green toad (Bufotes viridis) is geographically widely distributed. While the species global conservation status is labeled as of least concern by the IUCN, it is declining in many parts of its range where populations are fragmented and isolated. A high-quality reference genome is an important resource for conservation genomic researchers who are trying to understand and interpret the genomic signals of population decline, inbreeding, and the accumulation of deleterious mutations. Here, we ass…
