Abstract

We present the complete genome sequences of 7 species of the zoantharian genus Epizoanthus. Illumina sequencing was performed on genetic material from single wild-collected individuals. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via GenBank.

Introduction

The Epizoanthidae are a family of zoantharians with a worldwide distribution (e.g. Ryland and Ward 2016; Kise et al. 2019). We present the assembled genome sequences from 7 extant species of this genus. Detailed information about the specimen used for each species can be found in the Biosample linked to each genome assembly in GenBank.

Methods

DNA extraction was performed using the Qiagen DNAeasy genomic extraction kit using the standard process. A paired-end sequencing library was constructed using the Illumina TruSeq kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The library was sequenced on an Illumina Hi-Seq platform in paired-end, 2 × 150 bp format. The resulting fastq files were trimmed of adapter/primer sequence and low-quality regions with Trimmomatic v0.33 (Bolger, Lohse, and Usadel 2014). The trimmed sequence was assembled by SPAdes v2.5 (Bankevich et al. 2012) followed by a finishing step using Zanfona (Kieras, O’Neill, and Pirro 2021).

Results and Data Availability

All data, including raw reads and assembled draft genome sequence, are available via GenBank.
