The Eastern rockhopper penguin is a small crested penguin. It is closely related to the Western rockhopper penguin, however there is still some debate about whether both are considered incipient species, sub-species or distinct species. Recent genetic work suggests they are probably separate species. The Eastern rockhopper penguin breeds widely on subantarctic islands from New Zealand Campbell/Auckland/Antipodes Islands to the Prince Edward Islands group. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies the Southern rockhopper penguin group (including both the Eastern and the Western rockhopper penguin) as vulnerable.
We sequenced the genome of an adult Eastern rockhopper penguin from Possession Island, Crozet Islands (provided by Yves Cherel) to a depth of approximately 163x with short reads from a series of libraries with various insert sizes (250bp-20Kb). The assembled scaffolds of high quality sequences total 1.25Gb, with the contig and scaffold N50 values of 72.54Kb and 6.13Mb respectively. We identified 15963 protein-coding genes.
