# The genome sequence of the Hungarian meadow viper, Vipera ursinii rakosiensis Méhely, 1893

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Hungarian meadow viper, including chromosomal scaffolds and the mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Vipera ursinii rakosiensis, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 1,625.0 megabases and is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.38 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Vipera ursinii rakosiensis (the Hungarian meadow viper; Chordata; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Viperidae). The genome sequence is 1,625.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.38 kilobases in length.
