Saccharina japonica is a major kelp species of brown algae with the highest production among aquaculture seaweeds and holds important ecological and economic value. Despite advancements in domestication, a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly is needed to assist its genetic improvement. Previous genome assemblies of S. japonica were either on a draft-level or highly fragmented. Here, we generated a high-quality chromosome-level genome for the female sporophyte using PacBio sequencing and Hi-C. The genome is 516.11 Mb, with contig N50 length of 491.30 Kb and scaffold N50 length of 16.24 Mb, anchored into 32 pseudo-chromosomes. Repetitive elements constituted 45.07% of the genome, and 17,739 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 82% were functionally annotated. This genome provides a crucial resource for biotechnological advances in S. japonica breeding and offers insights into the ecology and evolution of brown algae.

Xishi tongue (Coelomactra antiquata), a commercially valuable marine bivalve, is distributed along the coastal waters of East Asia. In China, significant morphological and genetic differences have been observed between northern and southern populations. Overfishing and pollution have caused a severe decline in its natural populations, rendering the species endangered.

The Physalacriaceae family comprises numerous saprophytic edible and medicinal fungi with significant ecological and economic importance. However, the lack of high-quality genomic data has hindered systematic studies of this family. Here, we report the chromosome-level genome assembly of Cylindrobasidium torrendii, a species identified in China, using a combination of Illumina, PacBio HiFi, and Hi-C sequencing technologies.
