The chromosomal genome sequence of the Florida Lucine, Stewartia floridana (Conrad, 1833) (Lucinida: Lucinidae) and its associated microbial metagenome sequences
Abstract We present a genome assembly from a specimen of Stewartia floridana (Florida Lucine; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Lucinida; Lucinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,908.89 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.42%) is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.92 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 16,506 protein-coding genes. From the metagenome data, we recovered four bins, of which three were high-quality MAGs. Species taxonomy Eukaryota; Opisthokonta; Metazoa; Eumetazoa; Bilateria; Protostomia; Spiralia; Lophotrochozoa; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Autobranchia; Heteroconchia; Euheterodonta; Imparidentia; Lucinida; Lucinoidea; Lucinidae; Stewartia ; Stewartia floridana (Conrad, 1833) (NCBI:txid881254)
