Chromosome-level haplotype-resolved genome assembly of Lindaspio polybranchiata sp. nov. from deep-sea cold seeps
This project provides a high-quality, chromosome-level and haplotype-resolved genome assembly for Lindaspio polybranchiata sp. nov., a spionid polychaete (Annelida: Polychaeta: Spionidae) inhabiting deep-sea cold seeps. We utilized a multi-platform sequencing approach, integrating PacBio HiFi reads, Illumina genomic/transcriptomic data, and Hi-C scaffolding. This assembly represents the first chromosome-level genomic resource for the genus Lindaspio, offering a critical foundation for studying the adaptive evolution and molecular ecology of benthic fauna in extreme deep-sea environments.
