The chromosomal genome sequence of the coral, Cyphastrea salae Baird, Hoogenboom & Huang, 2017 (Scleractinia: Merulinidae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from <ns3:italic>Cyphastrea salae</ns3:italic> (coral; Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Scleractinia; Merulinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 536.29 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.78%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.45 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 27 298 protein-coding genes. We also recovered two metagenome bins from the sequence data. </ns3:p>
