Arabian Leopard PacBio HiFi Genome Resource (PRJNA1091853)

Repository title: Arabian Leopard PacBio HiFi Genome Resource

OmanSaudi ArabiaBiodiversity, conservation and evolutionCompleted / retained

A PacBio HiFi sequencing project for one Arabian leopard that produced an open mitochondrial genome in 2025 and a nuclear reference assembly in 2026.

01 / Project overview

What the record establishes.

Geographic scope
One wild-born male Arabian leopard sampled through the Oman Wildlife Breeding Centre in 2023; sequencing and genome analysis involved Saudi and Omani institutions.
Project type
conservation reference-genome sequencing project
Research domain
conservation genomics, nuclear genome assembly and mitochondrial genomics
Years
2023–2026
Lifecycle status
published reference-genome resource
Status basis
Peer-reviewed mitochondrial and nuclear genome papers were published in 2025 and 2026 from the same PacBio HiFi project; the current nuclear assembly is available from NCBI as GCA_038088395.2.
Status evidence date
2026-07-08
Scale
Single reference individual; one underlying BioProject and HiFi dataset produced mitochondrial genome PQ283265 and nuclear assembly GCA_038088395.2.

02 / Organizations and population

Who and what the project connects.

Lead organizations
King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology · University of Nizwa · Royal Court Affairs, Oman
Partner organizations
University of Connecticut
Organism / population
One male Arabian leopard (Panthera pardus nimr)

04 / Evidence and provenance

Why the record is included.

Inclusion basis

Distinct Saudi-Omani conservation-genomics resource with peer-reviewed mitochondrial and nuclear outputs linked to one durable public BioProject and one reference individual.

Editorial note

Treat the 2025 mitochondrial and 2026 nuclear papers as milestones from one underlying project. This single-individual reference resource does not measure Arabian-leopard population diversity and is not a second 2026 sequencing cohort.
