The genome sequence of the Cretan wall lizard, Podarcis cretensis (Wettstein, 1952)

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Podarcis cretensis (the Cretan wall lizard; Chordata; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Lacertidae). The genome sequence is 1,507.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.09 kilobases in length.
