Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Anser fabalis (Taiga Bean-Goose; Chordata; Aves; Anseriformes; Anatidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 316.27 megabases. Most of the assembly (87.89%) is scaffolded into 38 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.74 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
