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.
The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
