The genome sequence of the red ripple bryozoan, Watersipora subatra (Ortmann, 1890)

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Watersipora subatra (the red ripple bryozoan; Bryozoa; Gymnolaemata; Cheilostomatida; Watersiporidae). The genome sequence spans 783.70 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 14.14 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 16,835 protein-coding genes.
