Genome assembly of the deep-sea coral Lophelia pertusa
Like their shallow-water counterparts, cold-water corals create reefs that support highly diverse communities, and these structures are subject to numerous anthropogenic threats. Here, we present the genome assembly of Lophelia pertusa from the southeaste...
