ERGA-BGE Reference Genome of the Striped Field Mouse (Apodemus agrarius), a Widespread and Abundant Species in Central and Eastern Europe

The reference genome of Apodemus agrarius provides a valuable resource for phylogenetic studies of rodents, particularly mice, and for understanding factors that influence the geographical distribution of the species across East Asia and East Europe. A total of 25 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules were assembled from the genome sequence (23 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes). This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 2.6 Gb, composed of 242 contigs and 60 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 35 Mb and 119 Mb, respectively.

ERGA-BGE Reference Genome of the Northern chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra): Europe's most abundant mountain ungulate

The reference genome of Rupicapra rupicapra (subsp. rupicapra) provides insights into the genetic makeup that enabled this iconic mountain ungulate to adapt to its harsh environment, including its ability to survive in extreme weather and high altitudes--factors that are increasingly important in the face of climate change. A total of 29 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules were assembled from the genome sequence. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 2.62 Gb, composed of 124 contigs and 76 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 77 Mb and 101 Mb, respectively.
