# The genome sequence of the Catalonian Wall Lizard, Podarcis liolepis (Boulenger, 1905) (Squamata: Lacertidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Catalonian Wall Lizard, including detailed assemblies of its haplotypes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly with chromosomal pseudomolecules and sex chromosomes for Podarcis liolepis.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 1,574.00 and 1,478.08 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including W and Z sex chromosomes.
- The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 17.32 kilobases.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Podarcis liolepis (Catalonian Wall Lizard; Chordata; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Lacertidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 574.00 megabases and 1 478.08 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (97.05%) is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.32 kilobases.
