Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Nesoenas mayeri (the Pink Pigeon; Chordata; Aves; Columbiformes; Columbidae). The genome sequence is 1,183.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 40 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.97 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 16,730 protein coding genes.
