The genome sequence of Geoffroy’s Bat, Myotis emarginatus (Geoffroy, 1806) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns3:italic>Myotis emarginatus</ns3:italic> (Geoffroy’s Bat; Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Vespertilionidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 2 110.52 megabases and 2 084.88 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (96.18%) is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome, while 94.98% of haplotype 2 is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.1 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. </ns3:p>
