The genome sequence of the smooth giant clam, Tridacna derasa Röding, 1798 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Tridacna derasa (the smooth giant clam; Mollusca; Bivalvia;Cardiida; Cardiidae). The genome sequence is 1,060.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 24.95 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 19,638 protein coding genes.
