The project generates chromosome-level reference genomes for parthenogenetic Darevskia lizards to study asexual evolution. Using PacBio HiFi and Hi-C technologies, we will produce the first chromosome-scale assemblies, providing insights into chromatin architecture and gene regulation. Training under supervision of Prof. Pamela Burger (Vetmeduni Vienna) will strengthen ArmenianEuropean cooperation and enhance our expertise in advanced genomics, increasing his competitiveness for international research and funding.
