Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Lineus longissimus (the bootlace worm; Nemertea; Pilidiophora; Heteronemertea; Lineidae). The genome sequence is 391 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

Keywords: Lineus longissimus; bootlace worm; chromosomal; genome sequence.
