The genome sequence of the European mole, Talpa europaea Linnaeus, 1758.

We present a genome assembly from a female Talpa europaea (European mole; Chordata; Mammalia; Eulipotyphla; Talpidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 2,060.98 megabases and 2,056.47 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.6%) is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.93 kilobases in length.
