The genome sequence of the fish leech, Piscicola geometra (Linnaeus, 1761)

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Piscicola geometra (the fish leech; Annelida; Clitellata; Hirudinida; Piscicolidae). The genome sequence is 171.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.1 kilobases in length.
