Batillaridae is a common gastropod family that occurs abundantly in the shallow coastal zone of the intertidal mudflats of the northwest Pacific Ocean, Australasia, and North America. In this family, Batillaria attramentaria is known for its biological invasion and colonization in estuarine and intertidal zones. It can endure and adapt the harsh intertidal conditions such as frequent temperature alteration, salinity, and air exposure. Therefore, we sequenced and assembled this Korean batillariid genome to get insight into its intertidal adaptive features. Approximately 53 Gb of DNA sequences were generated, and 863 scaffolds were assembled into a draft genome of 0.715 Gb with 97.1% BUSCO completeness value. A total of 40,596 genes were predicted. We estimated that B. attramentaria and Conus consors diverged about 230 million years ago (MYA) based on the phylogenetic analysis of closely related gastropod species. This genome study sets the footstep for genomics studies among native and introduced Batillaria populations and the Batillaridae family members.
盘螺科是一种常见的腹足纲动物,广泛分布于西北太平洋、澳大拉西亚和北美的潮间带浅海泥滩。在这个科中,扁卷螺以其在河口和潮间带的生物入侵和定殖而闻名。它能够忍受和适应潮汐带的恶劣条件,如频繁的温度变化、盐度和空气暴露。因此,我们对这种韩国盘螺进行了测序和组装,以深入了解其潮汐适应特征。大约产生了 53GB 的 DNA 序列,863 个支架组装成一个 0.715GB 的草图基因组,具有 97.1%的 BUSCO 完整性值。总共预测了 40596 个基因。根据与盘螺科密切相关的腹足纲物种的系统发育分析,我们估计扁卷螺和芋螺大约在 2.3 亿年前(MYA)分化。这项基因组研究为本地和引入的扁卷螺种群以及盘螺科成员的基因组学研究奠定了基础。
