N1 - Data availability
European Nucleotide Archive: Viscum album (European mistletoe). Accession number PRJEB47325. The genome sequence is released openly for reuse. The Viscum album genome sequencing initiative is part of the Darwin Tree of Life Project (PRJEB40665) and the Sanger Institute Tree of Life Programme (PRJEB43745). All raw sequence data and the assembly have been deposited in INSDC databases. The genome will be annotated using available RNA-Seq data and presented through the Ensembl pipeline at the European Bioinformatics Institute. Raw data and assembly accession identifiers are reported in Table 1 and Table 2.
Pipelines used for genome assembly at the WSI Tree of Life are available at https://pipelines.tol.sanger.ac.uk/pipelines. Table 5 lists software versions used in this study.

N2 - We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Viscum album (European mistletoe; Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Santalales; Viscaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 94 261.04 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.67%) is scaffolded into 49 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the B 1 chromosome. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
