# The genome sequence of the Brown Long-eared bat, Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Brown Long-eared bat, including chromosomal scaffolds and the mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first assembled genome for Plecotus auritus, including 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 2163.2 megabases.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.91 kilobases long.
- 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X chromosome, were scaffolded.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female
Plecotus auritus (Brown Long-eared bat; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae). The genome sequence is 2163.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.91 kilobases in length.
