The genome sequence of the red-crested pochard, Netta rufina (Pallas, 1773) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Netta rufina (the red-crested pochard; Chordata; Aves; Anseriformes; Anatidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,167.00 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.76%) is scaffolded into 42 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.62 kilobases in length.
