The genome sequence of the white-tailed eagle, Haliaeetus albicilla (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Haliaeetus albicilla (the white-tailed eagle; Chordata; Aves; Accipitriformes; Accipitridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,320.30 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 34 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,501 protein-coding genes.
