## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the wood avens plant, including its chromosomes, mitochondria, and plastid genomes.

## Contribution

The paper provides the first complete genome assembly for Geum urbanum, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and organelle genomes.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 1,304.9 megabases and is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 335.5 kilobases and the plastid genome is 156.1 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Geum urbanum
(wood avens; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Rosales; Rosaceae). The genome sequence is 1,304.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genomes have also been assembled and are 335.5 and 156.1 kilobases in length respectively.
