“…Botryllus schlosseri was introduced in laboratories more than half a century ago (13), mainly as a model to study asexual development, regeneration (14), allorecognition and chimerism (15,16). Over the last decades, a scientific community has taken shape and several research groups have made significant efforts to improve breeding conditions (17)(18)(19) and to develop and adapt imaging and molecular biology techniques (7,8,20). Several anatomical descriptions and staging methods have been proposed (4,21) and various stage-specific and tissue-specific transcriptomic databases have been produced (7,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26).…”

Botryllus schlosseri(Tunicata) is a colonial chordate that has long been studied for its multiple developmental pathways and regenerative abilities and its genetically determined allorecognition system based on a polymorphic locus that controls chimerism and cell parasitism. We present the first chromosome-level genome assembly from an isogenic colony ofB. schlossericlade A1 using a mix of long and short reads scaf-folded using Hi-C. This haploid assembly spans 533 Mb, of which 96% are found in 16 chromosome-scale scaffolds. With a BUSCO completeness of 91.2%, this complete and contiguousB. schlosserigenome assembly provides a valuable genomic resource for the scientific community and lays the foundation for future investigations into the molecular mechanisms underlying coloniality, regeneration, histocompatibility, and the immune system in tunicates.
