The genome sequence of long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas (Traill, 1809) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Globicephala melas (long-finned pilot whale; Chordata; Mammalia; Artiodactyla; Delphinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,651.28 megabases. Most of the assembly (89.15%) is scaffolded into 23 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including t...

description We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Globicephala melas (long-finned pilot whale; Chordata; Mammalia; Artiodactyla; Delphinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,651.28 megabases. Most of the assembly (89.15%) is scaffolded into 23 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.39 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,911 protein-coding genes.
