The barnacle genome! Balanus improvisus

The genome is highly heterozygous, and we have been trying to "haploidize" it, with some success we think.

However, new data from a related species Amphibalanus amphitrite has been recently made available (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/annotation_euk/Amphibalanus_amphitrite/100/).

A. amphitrite:

807 Mb
~31,000 annotated genes
BUSCO 4 (run on longest proteins) C:96.9%[S:31.2%,D:65.7%],F:0.8%,M:2.3%,n:1013

our "haploid" B. improvisus:

821 Mb
~26,000 annotated genes
BUSCO 3 (run on genome) C:94.9%[S:86.0%,D:8.9%],F:1.9%,M:3.2%,n:1066
BUSCO 5 (run on genome) C:85.2%[S:79.2%,D:6.0%],F:8.8%,M:6.0%,n:1013
BUSCO 5 (run on longest proteins) C:83.5%[S:78.9%,D:4.6%],F:7.0%,M:9.5%,n:1013

our "diploid" B. improvisus:
