Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Arvicola amphibius (the European water vole; Chordata; Mammalia; Rodentia; Cricetidae). The genome sequence is 2.30 gigabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl has identified 21,394 protein coding genes.

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Arvicola amphibius
The European water vole, Arvicola amphibius Linnaeus 1758, is a small semi-aquatic mammal that lives on the banks of freshwater water courses and in wetlands
While the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species reports that A. amphibius is of “least concern” worldwide, populations in the United Kingdom have declined to such an extent that the species is considered nationally endangered (Mathews & Harrower, 2020) owing to habitat loss and predation by the American mink, Neovison vison, an invasive alien species
