Chromosome-level genome assembly of sea scallop Placopecten magellanicus provides insights into the genetic characteristics and adaptive evolution of large scallops.

Placopecten magellanicus (Gmelin, 1791), a deep-sea Atlantic scallop, holds significant commercial value as a benthic marine bivalve along the northwest Atlantic coast. Recognizing its economic importance, the need to reconstruct its genome assembly becomes apparent, fostering insights into natural resources and generic breeding potential. This study reports a high-quality chromosome-level genome of P.

A high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of the bivalve mollusk Mactra veneriformis.

Mactra veneriformis (Bivalvia: Mactridae) is a bivalve mollusk of major economic importance in China. Decreased natural yields of M. veneriformis have led to an urgent need for genomic resources.

Chromosome-level genome assembly of Scapharca kagoshimensis reveals the expanded molecular basis of heme biosynthesis in ark shells.

Ark shells are commercially important clam species that inhabit in muddy sediments of shallow coasts in East Asia. For a long time, the lack of genome resources has hindered scientific research of ark shells. Here, we report a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of Scapharca kagoshimensis, with an aim to unravel the molecular basis of heme biosynthesis, and develop genomic resources for genetic breeding and population genetics in ark shells.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of (Bivalvia: Ostreidae).

In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of (Gmelin 1791), the newly determined mitochondrial genome is 18225 bp in length, it is a circular molecule and consists of 12 protein-coding genes ( is absent), 24 transfer RNA (with two copies of and ), and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (splitting of the gene and duplication of the gene were identified). Phylogenetic analysis based on 12 protein coding genes showed that is closely related to .

Identification and characterisation of pathogenic Vibrio splendidus from Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) cultured in a low temperature environment.

A fatal disease with apparent lesions on the adductor muscles of Yesso scallop Patinopecten yessoensis has occurred for three consecutive years from 2009 to 2011 in the northeastern China. This disease has been suspected to be closely associated with bacterial infections. In the present study, 96 bacteria were isolated from the lesions of moribund scallops.
