Key Points

This research aims to characterize the genome of Sabellastarte sp. h YS-2021 and its associated microbial community.
Genome assembly performed on an individual feather duster worm.
Total genome length is 1,786.39 megabases, with 97.94% in 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
Metagenomic analysis yielded 5 bins, including one high-quality metagenome-assembled genome (MAG).
The genome assembly is predominantly scaffolded into chromosomal pseudomolecules.
A complete mitochondrial genome of 15.35 kilobases was obtained.
One high-quality MAG was recovered from metagenomic data.

Implication

Genome assembly reveals the structure of Sabellastarte sp. h YS-2021, highlighting microbial diversity.

Abstract

<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual <ns3:italic>Sabellastarte</ns3:italic> sp. h YS-2021 (feather duster worm; Annelida; Polychaeta; Sabellida; Sabellidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 786.39 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.94%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.35 kilobases. From the metagenome data, we recovered 5 bins, of which one was a high-quality MAG. </ns3:p>
