Genomic data from Chinstrap penguin (<em>Pygoscelis antarctica</em>).

The Chinstrap penguin inhabits a variety of islands and shores in the Southern Pacific and the Antarctic Oceans. It has a narrow black band under its head. They breed in Antarctica, Argentina, Bouvet Island, Chile, the Falkland Islands, the French Southern Territories, and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. Populations of Chinstrap penguin are considered to be decreasing overall, however in many sites the populations are increasing or stable. They are considered as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).<br>We sequenced the genome of an adult Chinstrap penguin from Thule Island, South Sandwich Islands (provided by Tom Hart) to a depth of approximately 125x with short reads from a series of libraries with various insert sizes (250bp-20Kb). The assembled scaffolds of high quality sequences total 1.24Gb, with the contig and scaffold N50 values of 115.56Kb and 5.89Mb respectively. We identified 15488 protein-coding genes.

帽带企鹅（Chinstrap penguin）栖息于南太平洋及南极海域的多个岛屿与海岸。其头部下方有一条狭窄的黑色条纹。它们在南极洲、阿根廷、布维岛、智利、福克兰群岛、法属南部领地以及南乔治亚和南桑威奇群岛繁殖。帽带企鹅的种群整体呈下降趋势，但在多个区域其种群数量正处于增长或稳定状态。国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）将其列为无危物种（Least Concern）。
我们对一只来自南桑威奇群岛图勒岛（由Tom Hart提供）的成年帽带企鹅进行了基因组测序，利用一系列不同插入片段长度（250bp-20Kb）的文库产生的短读长序列，测序深度约为125x。高质量序列组装得到的scaffolds总长为1.24Gb，contig N50和scaffold N50值分别为115.56Kb和5.89Mb。
