Abstract
Phorcus turbinatus (turbinate monodont; Mollusca, Trochidae) is widely used as a biomarker of water quality and numerous scientific studies rely on this species for environmental and genomic research. Consequently, the generation of a chromosome-level assembly for P. turbinatus is of substantial scientific interest. Most of the genome sequence was assembled into 18 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 0.95 Gb, composed of 104 contigs and 103 scaffolds, with a contig and scaffold N50 of 50.6 Mb.
