Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female Cistugo seabrae (Seabras wing-gland bat; Chiroptera; Cistugidae). The genome sequence is 1.9 gigabases (Gb) in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the XX chromosomes assembled. The assembly has a contig N50 of 51.9 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 91.4 Mb. Species taxonomyEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Chiroptera; Yangochiroptera; Vespertilionoidea; Cistugidae; Cistugo; Cistugo seabrae Thomas, 1912 (Teeling et al., 2005; Bickham et al., 2004; Lack et al., 2010).
