Abstract
The reference genome of the Eurasian Woodcock ( Scolopax rusticola) is an important resource to investigate population structure across the wide breeding range of this iconic game species and the conservation status of specific management units, such as the isolated Macaronesian populations. The genome sequence was assembled into 45 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules and 2 sex chromosomes (W and Z). This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 1.2 Gb, composed of 1,613 contigs and 935 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 5.9 Mb and 34.2 Mb, respectively.
