[Data Summary] The Australian fairy penguin (also known as little blue penguin,
blue penguin and little penguin) is one of the smallest penguins. It is found
widely along the southern coastlines of Australia and the Otago coast of New
Zealand. They have a slate-blue plumage. Recent genetic, morphological and
behavioral research has demonstrated that the Australian fairy penguin is a
separate species to the New Zealand little blue penguin, however this still
remains controversial. Populations have recently declined, and they are
considered as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of
Nature (IUCN), however this assessment still classifies the Australian and New
Zealand species as conspecific.<br>We sequenced the genome of an adult Fairy
penguin from Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia (provided by Peter Dann) to a
depth of approximately 137x with short reads from a series of libraries with
various insert sizes (250bp-20Kb). The assembled scaffolds of high quality
sequences total 1.28Gb, with the contig and scaffold N50 values of 119.59Kb and
27.92Mb respectively. We identified 17188 protein-coding genes.
