Genomic data from Magellanic penguin (<em>Spheniscus magellanicus</em>).

The Magellanic penguin breeds in coastal Argentina, Chile and the Falkland Islands. Nests are built under bushes or in burrows, and they lay eggs in warm places when the temperature remains over 20. Magellanic penguins travel in large flocks when hunting for food. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies the Magellanic penguin as near threatened.<br>We sequenced the genome of an adult Magellanic penguin from Chiloe Island, Chile (provided by Juan Bouzat) to a depth of approximately 171x with short reads from a series of libraries with various insert sizes (250bp-20Kb). The assembled scaffolds of high quality sequences total 1.2Gb, with the contig and scaffold N50 values of 40.48Kb and 12.09Mb respectively. We identified 16795 protein-coding genes.麦哲伦企鹅（Magellanic penguin）的繁殖地位于阿根廷沿海、智利以及福克兰群岛。其巢穴多建于灌丛下方或洞穴中，当环境温度持续高于20℃时，它们会在此产卵。麦哲伦企鹅在觅食时会结成大群活动。国际自然保护联盟（International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN）将麦哲伦企鹅列为近危物种。<br>本研究对采集自智利奇洛埃岛的一只成年麦哲伦企鹅（由Juan Bouzat提供）进行了全基因组测序，通过一系列插入片段长度范围为250bp至20Kb的文库获得短读长数据，测序深度约为171倍。最终组装得到的高质量序列支架总长度为1.2Gb，重叠群（contig）N50值与支架（scaffold）N50值分别为40.48Kb和12.09Mb。本研究共注释得到16795个蛋白质编码基因。
