# The genome sequence of the European Snow Vole, Chionomys nivalis (Martins, 1842)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the European Snow Vole, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly of the European Snow Vole, including sex chromosomes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 2,393.39 megabases long.
- 98.05% of the assembly is organized into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.29 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of
Chionomys nivalis (European Snow Vole; Chordata; Mammalia; Rodentia; Cricetidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,393.39 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.05%) is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.29 kilobases in length.
