The sunflower sea star, Pycnopodia helianthoides, was the species most severely impacted during the SSW outbreak, which overlapped with periods of anomalous atmospheric and oceanographic conditions, and there is not yet a consensus on the cause(s). Genomic data may reveal underlying molecular signatures that implicate a subset of factors and, thus, clarify past events while also setting the scene for effective restoration efforts. To advance this goal, we used Pacific Biosciences HiFi long sequencing reads and Dovetail Omni-C proximity reads to generate a highly contiguous genome assembly that was then annotated using RNA-seq-informed gene prediction. The genome assembly is 484 Mb long, with contig N50 of 1.9 Mb, scaffold N50 of 21.8 Mb, BUSCO completeness score of 96.1%, and 22 major scaffolds consistent with prior evidence that sea star genomes comprise 22 autosomes. These statistics generally fall between those of other recently assembled chromosome-scale assemblies for two species in the distantly related asteroid genus Pisaster. These novel genomic resources for P. helianthoides will underwrite population genomic, comparative genomic, and phylogenomic analyses\u2014as well as their integration across scales\u2014of SSW and environmental stressors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jhered\/esad054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,22]],"date-time":"2023-09-22T16:54:49Z","timestamp":1695401689000},"page":"86-93","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A
