Abstract

(tubeworm; Annelida; Polychaeta; Sabellida; Siboglinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 879.73 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.96%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.78 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 21 983 protein-coding genes.
