      abstract     = {Ansell's mole-rat (Fukomys anselli) is an African rodent
                      known for its subterranean lifestyle and unique phenotypic
                      traits, including extreme longevity, magnetoreception, and a
                      cooperative breeding social structure. Efforts to dissect
                      the genetic architecture of these traits and to decipher
                      their phylogenetic relationships within the broader African
                      mole-rat family would greatly benefit from a reference-grade
                      genome. Here, we report a first genome assembly of a male
                      Ansell's mole-rat. By combining Oxford Nanopore Technologies
                      (ONT) long-reads and Illumina short-reads with Hi-C data, we
                      generated a chromosome level assembly with a total length of
                      2.27 Gb, 412 scaffolds and a scaffold N50 of 72.4 Mb. We
                      identified $99.54\%$ of expected genes and annotated 29,094
                      transcripts using RNA sequencing data. This high-quality de
                      novo genome of Fukomys anselli lays the foundation for
                      dissecting the genetic and evolutionary basis of its
                      extraordinary traits and resolving African mole-rat
                      phylogeny.},
