# The genome sequence of the Common Goldeneye, Bucephala clangula (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Common Goldeneye bird, including detailed chromosomal and mitochondrial data.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the high-quality genome assembly of Bucephala clangula, including scaffolded chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 1,190.92 megabases long with 95.05% scaffolded into 40 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.63 kilobases long and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male
Bucephala clangula (Common Goldeneye; Chordata; Aves; Anseriformes; Anatidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,190.92 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.05%) is scaffolded into 40 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.63 kilobases.
