Supporting data for "Draft genome of the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus"
Dataset type: Genomic
Data released on March 22, 2018
The Peruvian scallop, Argopecten purpuratus, is mainly cultured in southern Chile and was introduced into China in last century. Unlike other Argopecten scallops, the Peruvian scallop normally has a long life span of up to 7-10 years. Therefore, researchers have been employing it to develop hybrid vigor. Here, we performed whole genome sequencing, assembly, and gene annotation of the Peruvian scallop, with an important aim to develop genomic resources for genetic breeding in scallops. A total of 463.19-Gb (Gigabase) raw DNA reads were sequenced. The draft genome assembly of 724.78 Mb was generated (accounting for 81.87% of the estimated genome size of 885.29 Mb), with a contig N50 size of 80.11 kb and a scaffold N50 size of 1.02 Mb. Meanwhile, the repeat sequences were calculated to reach 33.74% of the whole genome, and a total of 26,256 protein-coding genes and 3,057 non-coding RNAs were predicted from the assembly. We generated a high quality draft genome assembly of the Peruvian scallop, which will provide solid resource for further genetic breeding and evolutionary history analysis of this economically important scallop.
