Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Labrus mixtus (the cuckoo wrasse; Chordata; Actinopteri; Labriformes; Labridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 740.60 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.49 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Labriformes; Labrus mixtus; chromosomal; cuckoo wrasse; genome sequence.
