Genome assembly reveals extensive gene mapping in Cepaea hortensis, indicating significant genomic resources for study.
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual <ns3:italic>Cepaea hortensis</ns3:italic> (white-lipped snail; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Stylommatophora; Helicidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 3 168.99 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.52%) is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.08 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17 974 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland. </ns3:p>
