Biology:List of sequenced animal genomes

Short description: none

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

This list of sequenced animal genomes contains animal species for which complete genome sequences have been assembled, annotated and published. Substantially complete draft genomes are included, but not partial genome sequences or organelle-only sequences. For all kingdoms, see the list of sequenced genomes.

For the far more abundant mitochondrial genomes, see list of sequenced animal mitochondrial genomes.
