Genome assembly of <i>Pocillopora meandrina</i>

This study details the genome assembly of the Hawaiian coral species <i>Pocillopora meandrina</i>. Members of this genus are distributed worldwide and therefore of broad scientific and ecological importance. For <i>Poc. meandrina</i>, a high-quality assembly was generated using short-read Illumina and long-read PacBio data. This genome assembly is a significant improvement over available data and provides an invaluable resource for supporting multi-omics studies into coral biology, not just in Hawaii, but also in other regions, where related species exist.

本研究详细阐述了夏威夷珊瑚物种 Pocillopora meandrina 的基因组组装工作。该属珊瑚广泛分布于全球各地，具备广泛的科学与生态研究价值。针对 Pocillopora meandrina，研究团队结合短读长Illumina测序数据与长读长PacBio测序数据，构建了高质量的基因组组装结果。本次产出的基因组组装结果相较于现有公开数据实现了显著提升，可为珊瑚生物学的多组学研究提供宝贵的资源支撑；该资源不仅可服务于夏威夷地区的相关研究，亦能推广至存在近缘珊瑚物种的其他区域。
