Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Podarcis tiliguerta (Tyrrhenian Wall Lizard; Chordata; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Lacertidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 462.31 megabases and 1 394.94 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.26%) is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Most of haplotype 2 (99.2%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.19 kilobases.
