The chromosomal genome sequence of the starry cup coral, Micromussa lordhowensis (Veron & Pichon, 1982) (Scleractinia: Lobophylliidae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences

<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from a <ns3:italic>Micromussa lordhowensis</ns3:italic> specimen (starry cup coral; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Scleractinia; Lobophylliidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 582.08 megabases. Most of the assembly (89.67%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 18.25 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 32 953 protein-coding genes. From the metagenome data, we recovered 11 bins, of which four were high-quality MAGs. </ns3:p>
