# ERGA-BGE genome of Patella rustica Linnaeus, 1758: a resource to investigate responses to global warming in the intertidal

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome of Patella rustica, a key resource for studying how intertidal species respond to global warming.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly for Patella rustica.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes 9 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules totaling 719 Mb.
- The assembly has contig and scaffold N50 values of 8.52 Mb and 83.6 Mb, respectively.

## Abstract

The reference genome of
Patella rustica Linnaeus, 1758 will offer a unique opportunity to understand how intertidal organisms respond to the effects of global warming, contributing to improve our predictions about the impact of climate change on the maintenance and diversification of marine biodiversity. A total of 9 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules were assembled from the genome sequence. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 719 Mb, composed of 157 contigs and 24 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 8.52 Mb and 83.6 Mb, respectively.
