Historically, it has been widely used as a medicinal leech and for centuries it was treated erroneously under the specific name of L. 1758. Recent molecular and taxonomic analyses have revealed subspecific diversity within the morphospecies . is a blood-feeding species sucking blood from amphibians, fish, and mammals. It occupies freshwater habitats, typically shallow ponds and lakes. Studies show that this leech species has a "naturally limited microbiome", suggesting it may serve as a powerful model system for the study of gut microbiota. We expect this chromosome-level assembly of to serve as a high-quality genomic resource for this most famous leech genus and to serve as a foundation to the study of the diversification and biodiversity of European medicinal leeches, as well as their gut-associated symbionts. The genome of was assembled into two haplotypes through a phased assembly approach; however, only the primary haplotype was designated as the reference genome for annotation and downstream analyses. The entirety of the primary haplotype was assembled into 14 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the mitogenome. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 0.18 Gb, composed of 277 contigs and 27 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 1.3 Mb and 13.4 Mb, respectively. |
