Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Sciurus carolinensis (the eastern grey squirrel; Vertebrata; Mammalia; Eutheria; Rodentia; Sciuridae). The genome sequence is 2.82 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly (92.3%) is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal-level scaffolds, with both X and Y sex chromosomes assembled.
Highlights
The eastern grey squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis, is native to eastern North America, where it plays important roles in forest regeneration through its habit of caching food nuts and seeds (Corbet & Hill, 1991
In North America, S. carolinensis has been introduced outside its native range such that it is found from the Canadian Pacific northwest to Florida
S. carolinensis was introduced to Britain, Ireland, Italy, South Africa, Australia and Pitcairn island
