The genome sequence of a coronate scyphozoan jellyfish, Nausithoe racemosa (Komai, 1936) (Coronatae: Nausithoidae), and a metagenome-assembled genome of the associated cyanobacterium Moorena producens
<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly from a specimen of <ns5:italic>Nausithoe racemosa</ns5:italic> (coronate scyphozoan jellyfish; Cnidaria; Scyphozoa; Coronatae; Nausithoidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 4 784.66 megabases and 4 868.20 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (97.34%) is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 13.97 kilobases. From the metagenome data, we recovered one high-quality metagenome-assembled genome. </ns5:p>
