## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the pond mud snail, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Omphiscola glabra.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 744.78 megabases long, with 99.95% scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 13.78 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 18,317 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of
Omphiscola glabra (pond mud snail; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Lymnaeidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 744.78 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.95%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 13.78 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 18,317 protein-coding genes.
