The genome sequence is 2.44 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with both X and Y sex chromosomes assembled.enopenAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Journal Article2398-502XWellcome Open Research533 - 33Lutra lutrariver ottergenome sequencechromosomal
