# The genome sequence of Daubenton’s bat, Myotis daubentonii (Kuhl, 1817)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of Daubenton’s bat, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Myotis daubentonii, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 2,127.8 megabases and is scaffolded into 23 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.34 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- The assembly includes the X and Y sex chromosomes, offering insights into the bat's genetic structure.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Myotis daubentonii (Daubenton's bat; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae). The genome sequence is 2,127.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 23 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.34 kilobases in length.
