The chromosomal genome sequence of the Black Lichen, Lichina pygmaea (Lightf.) C.Agardh (Lichinales: Lichinaceae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences

<ns3:p> We present a haploid genome assembly from an individual <ns3:italic>Lichina pygmaea</ns3:italic> (Black Lichen; Ascomycota; Lichinomycetes; Lichinales; Lichinaceae). The genome sequence has a total length of 32.42 megabases. The assembly is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 47.95 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 8 665 protein-coding genes. From the metagenome data, we recovered 9 bins, of which 4 were high-quality MAGs. </ns3:p>
