Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Erithacus rubecula (the European robin; Chordata; Aves; Passeriformes; Turdidae). The genome sequence is 1.09 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 36 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with both W and Z sex chromosomes assembled.
