We present a genome assembly from an individual female Pipistrellus nathusii (Nathusius’ pipistrelle; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 961.71 megabases and 1 889.00 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (92.66%) is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.27 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
Ruedi et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
