- ERGA-BGE reference genome of ) : a sea cucumber from the Mediterranean Sea. Vasileiadou, Katerina Dailianis, Thanos Skouradakis, Grigorios Vernadou, Emmanouela Karakasi, Danae Böhne, Astrid Monteiro, Rita Fernández, Rosa Escudero, Nuria Manousaki, Tereza Moussy, Alice Cruaud, Corinne Labadie, Karine Demirdjian, Lola Ndar, Adama Wincker, Patrick H Oliveira, Pedro Aury, Jean-Marc Bortoluzzi, Chiara is a common species of sea cucumber found in the Mediterranean Sea and the Northeast Atlantic Ocean. It typically inhabits shallow rocky and sandy seabeds, where it plays a key ecological role as a sediment engineer processing organic matter ts and thereby contributing to nutrient cycling. As an edible species, is harvested in several countries. Although it is currently listed as a species of "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List, the absence of a regulatory framework to prevent overexploitation poses a risk of population decline. Given its ecological significance and economic value has become a focal point in both marine conservation and aquaculture research. The entirety of the genome sequence was assembled into 23 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 1.2 Gb, composed of 135 contigs and 46 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 19.9 Mb and 50.7 Mb, respectively.
