Key Points

The genome assembly of ctena decussata is about 1,658.05 megabases long, leading to significant findings on chromosomal structure.
Approximately 97.83% of this genome is structured into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules, indicating strong genomic organization.
The mitochondrial genome, measuring 53.28 kilobases, was also successfully assembled, adding depth to genomic insights.
The research validates the importance of the bacterial endosymbiont, candidatus thiodiazotropha, in the host mollusc's biology.

Implication

Genome assembly reveals extensive chromosomal structure in Ctena decussata, highlighting its bacterial endosymbiont's role.

Abstract

<ns3:p>We present a genome assembly from a specimen of <ns3:italic>Ctena decussata</ns3:italic> (Mollusca; Bivalvia; Lucinida; Lucinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,658.05 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.83%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 53.28 kilobases in length. The genome of <ns3:italic>Candidatus</ns3:italic> Thiodiazotropha sp. CDECU1, a bacterium associated with <ns3:italic>C. decussata</ns3:italic> was also assembled,</ns3:p>
