Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Terebella lapidaria (segmented worm; Annelida; Polychaeta; Terebellida; Terebellidae). The genome sequence spans 765.20 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.97 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Terebella lapidaria; Terebellida; a segmented worm; chromosomal; genome sequence.
