Abstract Aurelia coerulea (moon jellyfish), a radially symmetrical metazoan in the phylum Cnidaria, possesses key features pertinent to understanding the evolutionary origins of nervous systems. Here, we employed a combination of long-read sequencing, short-read sequencing, and Hi-C chromatin conformation capture techniques to generate a chromosome-level assembly of the A. coerulea genome.
