Dear colleagues,

The Amphibian Genomics Consortium (AGC)
https://mvs.unimelb.edu.au/amphibian-genomics-consortium is dedicated
to advancing research in amphibian genomics by sharing information and
fostering collaboration across the global community.

In this spirit, we invite members of the community who have experience
with High Molecular Weight DNA extraction and/or sequencing in amphibians
to take a short survey.

Long-read sequencing is becoming more accessible and is particularly
valuable for assembling large, repeat-rich genomes like those of
amphibians. However, uncertainties remain regarding optimal sample types,
preservation methods, and strategies to maximize sequencing yield on
the different platforms.

This survey seeks to pool our collective experience to identify best
practices, highlight common pitfalls, and ultimately contribute to a
publication that can guide future efforts in the field. If you are
interested in contributing to this publication, please indicate it
in the survey and provide your contact information.  You can direct
any questions regarding the survey to Sandra Goutte: sg5533@nyu.edu.
We appreciate your participation!
