The chromosomal genome sequence of Haliclona indistincta (Bowerbank, 1866) (Haplosclerida: Chalinidae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences

<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual <ns3:italic>Haliclona indistincta</ns3:italic> (sponge; Porifera; Demospongiae; Haplosclerida; Chalinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 144.34 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.37%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 24.89 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 18 062 protein-coding genes. Two metagenome bins were also recovered from the sequence data. </ns3:p>
