The sea cucumber genome provides insights into morphological evolution and visceral regeneration.

The sea cucumber genome provides insights into morphological evolution and visceral regeneration.

Apart from sharing common ancestry with chordates, sea cucumbers exhibit a unique morphology and exceptional regenerative capacity. Here we present the complete genome sequence of an economically important sea cucumber, A. japonicus, generated using Illumina and PacBio platforms, to achieve an assem...
