The genome sequence of the Black Medic, Medicago lupulina L. [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Black Medic, Medicago lupulina (Streptophyta; Magnoliopsida; Fabales; Fabaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 575.40 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial and plastid genome assemblies have lengths of 294.12 kilobases and 123.99 kilobases, respectively. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 27,424 protein-coding genes.
