# The genome sequence of the nine-spined stickleback, Pungitius pungitius (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the nine-spined stickleback, a small fish species, providing a detailed genetic map.

## Contribution

The study provides a new genome assembly for Pungitius pungitius, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome data.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 480.4 megabases and is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.57 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Pungitius pungitius (the nine-spined stickleback; Chordata; Actinopteri; Gasterosteiformes; Gasterosteidae). The genome sequence is 480.4 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.57 kilobases in length.
