Abstract
The bay scallop, Argopecten irradians, is a species of major commercial, cultural, and ecological importance. It is endemic to the eastern coast of the United States, but has also been introduced to China, where it supports a significant aquaculture industry. Here, we provide an annotated chromosome-level reference genome assembly for the bay scallop, assembled using PacBio and Hi-C data. The total genome size is 845.9 Mb, distributed over 1,503 scaffolds with a scaffold N50 of 44.3 Mb. The majority (92.9%) of the assembled genome is contained within the 16 largest scaffolds, corresponding to the 16 chromosomes confirmed by Hi-C analysis. The assembly also includes the complete mitochondrial genome. Approximately 36.2% of the genome consists of repetitive elements. The BUSCO analysis showed a completeness of 96.2%. We identified 33,772 protein-coding genes. This genome assembly will be a valuable resource for future research on evolutionary dynamics, adaptive mechanisms, and will support genome-assisted breeding, contributing to the conservation and management of this iconic species in the face of environmental and pathogenic challenges.
期刊介绍:
Scientific Data is an open-access journal focused on data, publishing descriptions of research datasets and articles on data sharing across natural sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Its goal is to enhance the sharing and reuse of scientific data, encourage broader data sharing, and acknowledge those who share their data.
The journal primarily publishes Data Descriptors, which offer detailed descriptions of research datasets, including data collection methods and technical analyses validating data quality. These descriptors aim to facilitate data reuse rather than testing hypotheses or presenting new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses.
