Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Artibeus intermedius (Chordata; Mammalia; Chiroptera; Phyllostomidae). The genome sequence is 2.3Gb in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X and Y1/Y2 sex chromosomes assembled.
