The genome sequence of the chaffinch, Fringilla coelebs Linnaeus, 1758 [version 1; peer review: 3 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Fringilla coelebs (the chaffinch; Chordata; Aves; Passeriformes; Fringillidae). The genome sequence is 1,209.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 40 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.8 kilobases in length.
