Draft hybrid genome assembly of the photosynthetic sacoglossan Elysia crispata provides insights into sacoglossan biology
We present here a draft genome of the photosynthetic sacoglossan sea slug, Elysia crispata (ecotype crispata) generated with a reference guided approach using Illumina short reads and long PacBio HiFi reads. The genome size is approximately 671 Mb with an N50 of  460 kb. BUSCO genome completeness was 98.2% comprising 97.5% metazoan complete core genes and 0.7% partial core genes.
