More Details: Abstract Anthocidaris crassispina is a very popular edible sea urchin distributed along the coast of the South China Sea. In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing and generated a chromosome-level assembly of this species. The total length of the genomic contig sequence was 891.02 Mb, and contig N50 was 808.15 kb when Hifiasm was used for assembly. The Hi-C library was constructed and sequenced, yielding approximately 68.61 Gb of data. After Hi-C assembly, approximately 886.72 Mb of sequence was able to be mapped onto 21 chromosomes, accounting for 99.52% of the total genome length. Among the sequences located on the chromosomes, those for which the order and direction could be determined accounted for approximately 826.82 Mb, or 93.24% of the total length. These results provide valuable resources for further study of A. crassispina at the genetic level.
