It is the sole eastern North American wood-warbler that nests in cavities, the only species in the genus <i>Protonotaria</i>, and is one of the few hole-nesting hosts of the Brown-headed Cowbird (<i>Molothrus ater</i>), an obligate brood parasite. We present the whole genome sequence of this wood-warbler species. Illumina sequencing was performed on a genetic sample from a single female individual. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data is publicly available via Genbank: Sequence Read Archive (SRR19579445) and Assembly (Biodiversity genomeshttps://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9645680biostudies-literatureThe Complete Genome Sequence of <i>Protonotaria citrea,</i> the Prothonotary Warbler.PMC9645680IRGEN_RG_2021-1345Pirro SAntonson NDHauber MEViverette CSchelsky WMBoves TJScharf HMBulluck LfalseThe Complete Genome Sequence of <i>Protonotaria citrea,</i> the Prothonotary Warbler.The Prothonotary Warbler (<i>Protonotaria citrea</i>) is a nearctic-neotropical migratory songbird that breeds in forested swamps and riparian areas in the eastern-central United States and southern Ontario.
