The evolutionary history of horseshoe crabs, spanning approximately 500 million years, is characterized by remarkable morphological stasis and a low species diversity with only four extant species. Here we report a chromosome-level genome assembly for the mangrove horseshoe crab (Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda) using PacBio reads and Hi-C data. The assembly spans 1.67 Gb with contig N50 of 7.8 Mb and 98% of the genome assigned to 16 chromosomes. The genome contains five Hox clusters with 34 Hox ge ...[more]
