A chromosome-level assembly and functional genomic resources for the model annelid <i>Capitella teleta</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The polychaete Capitella teleta is a commonly used annelid for studies in evolutionary developmental biology, comparative genomics, conservation, and ecotoxicology. Over a decade ago, it was the first polychaete to have its genome sequenced and assembled, contributing to pioneering studies that transformed our understanding of animal genomes and their evolution. However, this early resource is now outdated compared to current genome sequencing standards, limiting the use of modern functional genomic tools that could further our understanding of numerous biological processes.

Results

We combine long-read and short-read sequencing with Hi-C chromatin conformation capture data to assemble the chromosome-level nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of the laboratory
