Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of small nettle, Urtica urens (Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Rosales; Urticaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 339.60 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 335.02 kilobases and 147.51 kilobases, respectively. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 18,378 protein-coding genes.
