Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Oscarella lobularis (Porifera; Homoscleromorpha; Homosclerophorida; Oscarellidae). The genome sequence is 65.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.26 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of the host organism assembly on Ensembl identified 19,260 protein-coding genes. Of twenty-five binned metagenomes, 17 were classified as metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). The symbiotic prokaryotic genomes were affiliated with the Alphaproteobacteria (Rhodobacteraceae, Candidatus Rhodobacter lobularis) and Gammaproteobacteria as well as the archaeal Nitrosopumilus sp. clade.
