The reference genome of Apodemus agrarius provides a valuable resource for phylogenetic studies of rodents, particularly mice, and for understanding factors that influence the geographical distribution of the species across East Asia and East Europe. A total of 25 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules were assembled from the genome sequence (23 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes). This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 2.6 Gb, composed of 242 contigs and 60 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 35 Mb and 119 Mb, respectively.
