The chromosomal genome sequence of the spiny sea fan, Muricea muricata (Pallas, 1766) (Malacalcyonacea: Plexauridae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences.
We present a genome assembly from a Muricea muricata specimen (spiny sea fan; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Malacalcyonacea; Plexauridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 453.40 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.45%) is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 19.29 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 52 164 protein-coding genes. From the metagenome data, we recovered five bins, of which three were high-quality MAGs.
