Abstract
<ns4:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns4:italic>Aquila chrysaetos chrysaetos</ns4:italic> (the European golden eagle; Chordata; Aves; Accipitridae). The genome sequence is 1.23 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. </ns4:p>
