The chromosomal genome sequence of the maze coral, Meandrina meandrites (Linnaeus, 1758) (Scleractinia: Meandrinidae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: (maze coral; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Scleractinia; Meandrinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 551.16 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.25%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.2 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 30 464 protein-coding genes. We recovered two bins from the metagenome data.
