Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Patella pellucida (the blue-rayed limpet; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Patellidae). The genome sequence is 712 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.85%) is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome was assembled and is 14.9 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Mollusca; Patella pellucida; blue-rayed limpet; chromosomal; genome sequence.
