# The genome sequence of a segmented worm, Terebella lapidaria Linnaeus, 1767

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the segmented worm Terebella lapidaria, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and mitochondrial genome for Terebella lapidaria, a species in the Terebellidae family.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 765.20 megabases.
- Most of the assembly is organized into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.97 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Terebella lapidaria (segmented worm; Annelida; Polychaeta; Terebellida; Terebellidae). The genome sequence spans 765.20 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.97 kilobases in length.
