Genomic analysis reveals a chromosome-scale assembly in the staghorn coral Acropora cf. manni, highlighting critical resources for reef conservation.
We present a genome assembly from a colony sample of Acropora cf. manni (staghorn coral; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Scleractinia; Acroporidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 459.26 megabases and 489.30 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (94.39%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 18.48 kilobases. Metagenome binning recovered one bacterial bin from the phylum Chlamydiota.
