Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Eptesicus nilssonii (the northern bat; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae), derived from the placental tissue of a pregnancy that resulted a male pup. The genome sequence is 2,064.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 26 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.04 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Chiroptera; Eptesicus nilssonii; chromosomal; genome sequence; northern bat.
