Genome skim data of cold-water corals from the Azores (NE Atlantic)
This study investigates the biodiversity of cold-water corals collected between 200 and 1500 m depth in the Azores (NE Atlantic) through genomic analysis. Genomic data were obtained by a genome skimming approach, and species-level identification was achieved through targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exons. This research advances the understanding of cold-water coral diversity and ecology in deep-sea Azorean ecosystems.
