# The genome sequence of the common sole, Solea solea (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the common sole, a fish species, including detailed gene annotations and mitochondrial genome data.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Solea solea, a flatfish species.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 643.80 megabases with 97.81% scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.03 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 21,646 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Solea solea (Linnaeus, 1758) (the common sole; Chordata; Actinopteri; Pleuronectiformes; Soleidae). The genome sequence spans 643.80 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.81%) is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.03 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 21,646 protein-coding genes.
