The genome sequence of the Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout 1769 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2021
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Rattus norvegicus (the Norway rat; Chordata; Mammalia; Rodentia; Muridae). The genome sequence is 2.44 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules,
