ERGA-BGE genome of Stigmatoteuthis arcturi Robson, 1948: the jewelled squid
The <i>Stigmatoteuthis arcturi</i> reference genome offers a valuable resource for understanding the evolutionary patterns of oceanic squids, who perform important ecological roles as both predators and prey in mesopelagic and deep-sea environments, while their genomes remain understudied. The entirety of the genome sequence was assembled into 46 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 3.25 Gb, composed of 1,268 contigs and 497 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 11.0 Mb and 74.6 Mb, respectively.
