Chromosome-scale genome assembly and gene annotation of the hydrothermal vent annelid Alvinella pompejana yield insight into animal evolution in extreme environments
Our results provide a comprehensive Alvinella protein and genome resource and shed light on the adaptation of Alvinella to temperature, hypoxia and darkness, as well as cryptic speciation, giving a firm base from which future studies can be taken forward.
