Highlights Mulinia lateralis reaches sexual maturation within 2 months, facilitating comprehensive studies of gonadal development. A combined morphological and molecular analysis reveals the timing of gonad formation, sex differentiation and gametogenesis. WGCNA on 40 transcriptomes identifies key modules and molecular drivers of clam gonadal development. SOX2, FOXZ, HSFY, FOXL2 and HES1 are hub transcription factors for gonadal development of Mulinia lateralis.
