<b>Chromosome-level genome assembly of the </b><b>scalloped spiny lobster</b><b> </b><b><i>Panulirus </i></b><b><i>homarus</i></b>

We present a chromosome-level reference genome for <i>P. homarus</i> constructed using PacBio long-read sequencing and Hi-C data. The genome assembly size is 2.61 Gb, with a scaffold N50 of 36.69 Mb. The assembled sequences were anchored to 73 chromosomes, covering 96.05% of the total genome. A total of 25,580 protein-coding genes were predicted, and 99.98% of the genes were functionally annotated using various protein databases.
