Resumen:

The genome of the land slug Deroceras laeve was sequenced, assembled up to the chromosome level, and annotated for non-coding RNAs and protein-coding genes. Due to the small size of this pulmonate species, ease of laboratory culture, cosmopolitan distribution, as well as recently released anatomical and histological resources, this genomic resource creates new opportunities for the investigation of the largely unexplored mechanisms of regeneration in mollusks. Moreover, it also makes this slug an attractive model for functional genomics and evolutionary biology.
