The genome sequence of the European pine marten, Martes martes (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Martes martes (the European pine marten; Chordata; Mammalia; Carnivora; Mustelidae). The genome sequence is 2,484.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.57 kilobases in length.
