The primary aim of this contribution is to provide genomic data and tools for a highly regenerative brittle star (ophiuroid echinoderm) Ophioderma brevispinum, an emerging model organism in the field of regenerative biology.This species is capable of autotomizing and quickly regenerating its arms, the seg-mented body appendages. Arm regeneration is a classic example of epimorphic regeneration, which involves extensive unidirectional terminal growth through rapid generation of new tissues distal to the plane of the injury.
