The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is a large species of falcons.

The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is a large species of falcons. Its breeding range spans all continents except Antarctica, and is considered the fastest member of the animal kingdom. This sample was procured by Farooq Omar Al-Ajli and used to generate a high-quality reference genome in a collaboration between Qatar Falcon Genome Project (QFGP) and Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP). The project was coordinated by Farooq Al-Ajli as a part of large conservation study (Qatar Falcon Genome Project), and funded by KATARA Cultural Village and Al-Gannas Qatari Society, Qatar. Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genomes Lab (VGL) by Farooq Omar Al-Ajli at the Rockefeller University, led by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis.
