Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual Aurelia sp. 3 sensu Dawson et al . (2005) (scyphozoan jellyfish; Cnidaria; Scyphozoa; Semaeostomeae; Ulmaridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 512.46 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.35%) is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.64 kilobases.From the metagenome data, we recovered three bins, of which two were high-quality MAGs.Keywords
