Law, Sean Tsz Sum Nong, Wenyan Au, Ming Fung Franco Cheung, Leni Hiu Tong Shum, Cheryl Wood Yee Lee, Shing Yip Cheung, Siu Gin Hui, Jerome Ho Lam Animals Bivalvia Genome Hong Kong Transcriptome Clam digging has a long history in Hong Kong, but unregulated clam digging activities depletes clam populations and threatens the ecosystem. Population genomics is useful to unravel the connectivity of clams at different geographical locations and to provide necessary conservation measures; and yet, only limited number of clams in Hong Kong have genomic resources. Here, we present chromosomal-level genome assemblies for two clams commonly found in Hong Kong, Anomalocardia flexuosa and Meretrix petechialis, using a combination of PacBio HiFi and Omni-C reads. For A. flexuosa, we assembled the genome into 19 pseudochromosomes with a genome size of 1.09 Gb (scaffold N50 = 58.5 Mb), and BUSCO scores of 94.4%. A total of 20,881 gene models were also predicted using the transcriptomes generated in this study. For M. petechialis, the genome was mainly assembled into 19 pseudochromosomes with a genome size of 1.04 Gb (scaffold N50 = 53.5 Mb), and BUSCO scores of 95.7%. A total of 20,084 gene models were also predicted using the transcriptomes generated in this study. The two new genomic resources established in this study will be useful for further study of biology, ecology, and evolution of clams, as well as setting up a foundation for evidence-informed decision making in conservation measures and implementation. |
