We present a genome assembly from an individual Rutilus rutilus (Roach; Chordata; Actinopteri; Cypriniformes; Leuciscidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 100.18 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.56%) is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.61 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 25 358 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
