摘要

The silver-lipped pearl oyster (Pinctada maxima) is a valuable tropical aquaculture species, playing a crucial economic role in the global pearl industry. However, the lack of genomic reference limits our in-depth understanding of this species in genome-based breeding, conservation, evolution and adaptation. Here, annotated chromosome-level reference genome for P. maxima was generated by integrating PacBio long-read sequencing, Illumina short-read sequencing, and Hi-C sequencing data. The total genome size is 1,264.93 Mb, with contig N50 and scaffold N50 of 649 kb and 89.19 Mb, respectively. The majority (97.94%) of the assembled genome was anchored to the 14 chromosomes by Hi-C analysis. The relatively high genome completeness was observed, with 97.38% (metazoa_odb10 database) and 95.26% (mollusca_odb10 database) in BUSCO analysis. Genome annotation revealed approximately 65.46% of the repeat sequences and 26,315 protein-coding genes. Comparative genome analysis revealed 28 expanded and 48 contracted families (p < 0.05) in P. maxima, with 3.2% of genes (894) being species-specific. This chromosome-level genome serves as an essential resource for research in evolutionary genomics, phylogenetics, and biomineralization.
