Table 1 Amphibian Genomics Consortium (AGC) sequencing priority list. Table of amphibian families without any sequenced genomes. For each family, AGC proposed a candidate species based on its IUCN Red List category (LC: Least Concern, NT: Near Threatened, VU: Vulnerable, EN: Endangered, CR: Critically Endangered, and NA: Not evaluated), ecological and evolutionary distinctiveness, and availability of other genomic records. This table shows the amphibian order to which each family belongs and its number of genera (#G) and described extant species (#S) as well as distribution region. aSpecies with available draft genome assemblies in the GenomeArk (https://www.genomeark.org/)
