The genome sequence of Dermanura phaeotis (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae, Stenodermatinae; Miller, 1902)

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Dermanura phaeotis (Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Phyllostomidae). The genome sequence is 2.2 Gb in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X and Y sex chromosomes assemb...
