Genome assembly for Pipistrellus nathusii shows detailed chromosomal structure, suggesting insights into bat genetics.
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns3:italic>Pipistrellus nathusii</ns3:italic> (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. </ns3:p>
