Genome sequencing of Hydra vulgaris. Hydra vulgaris

The Hydra Genome Project is a joint effort by JCVI, JGI, Dan Rokhsar's lab at UC Berkeley and Rob Steele's lab at UC Irvine. The sequencing and initial assembly was done by JCVI and submitted to GenBank as WGS project ABRM00000000. That assembly often assembled the two haplotypes of Hydra into separate contigs/scaffolds. The second assembly was done at JGI and is a haploid-type assembly, where each locus is expected to be represented only once. That assembly is WGS project ACZU00000000.
