The genome sequence of Saccopteryx leptura, Schreber, 1774 (Chiroptera, Emballonuridae, Saccopteryx)
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns3:italic>Saccopteryx leptura</ns3:italic> (Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Emballonuridae). The genome sequence is 2.6 Gb in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X chromosome assembled. Due to the Y chromosome being very short in this species, assembly has not yet been successful. </ns3:p>
