Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Alentia gelatinosa (Gelatinous Scale Worm); Annelida; Polychaeta; Phyllodocida; Polynoidae). The genome sequence is 1,237.5 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.37 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Alentia gelatinosa; Gelatinous Scale Worm; Phyllodocida; chromosomal; genome sequence.
