The Aeolian wall lizard (Podarcis raffonei), also known commonly as Raffone's wall lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Lacertidae. The species is endemic to Italy (from Wikipedia entry). This sample was procured by Claudio Ciofi and used to generate a high-quality reference genome for the Vertebrate Genomes Project (VGP) and the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA). The project was coordinated by Claudio Ciofi of the University of Florence, Firenze, Italy. Sequencing and genome assembly were conducted at the Vertebrate Genomes Lab (VGL) at the Rockefeller University, led by Olivier Fedrigo and Erich D. Jarvis.
