Abstract
AbstractThe two subspecies of Atlantic bay scallop (Argopecten irradians), A. i. irradians and A. i. concentricus, are economically important aquacultural species in northern and southern China. Here, we performed the whole-genome sequencing, assembly, and gene annotation and produced draft genomes for both subspecies. In total, 253.17 and 272.97 gigabases (Gb) of raw reads were generated from Illumina Hiseq and PacBio platforms for A. i. irradians and A. i. concentricus, respectively. Draft genomes of 835.7 Mb and 874.82 Mb were assembled for the two subspecies, accounting for 83.9% and 89.79% of the estimated sizes of their corresponding genomes, respectively. The contig N50 and scaffold N50 were 78.54 kb and 1.53 Mb for the A. i. irradians genome, and those for the A. i. concentricus genome were 63.73 kb and 1.25 Mb. Moreover, 26,777 and 25,979 protein-coding genes were predicted for A. i. irradians and A. i. concentricus, respectively. These valuable genome assemblies lay a solid foundation for future theoretical studies and provide guidance for practical scallop breeding.
