Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Bugula neritina (the ruby bryozoan; Bryozoa; Gymnolaemata; Cheilostomatida; Bugulidae). The genome sequence has total length of 216.00 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.25 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 20,264 protein-coding genes.
