We present a genome assembly from an individual female Aquila chrysaetos chrysaetos (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.
We observed an egg being taken from a Golden Eagle nest near Atlin, British Columbia, by a Common Raven. This is apparently the first record of its kind.
