The chromosomal genome sequence of the common sea fan, Gorgonia ventalina (Linnaeus, 1758) (Malacalcyonacea: Gorgoniidae)
We present a genome assembly from an individual <i>Gorgonia ventalina</i> (common sea fan; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Malacalcyonacea; Gorgoniidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 339.18 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.66%) is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 18.73 kilobases.
