Abstract
The ivory shell Babylonia areolata is an economically important marine benthic gastropod known for its rapid growth and high nutritional value. B. areolata is distributed in Southeast Asia and the southeast coastal areas of China. In this study, we constructed a high-quality genome for B. areolata using PacBio, Illumina, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The genome assembly comprised 35 chromosomal sequences with a total length of 1.65 Gb. The scaffold and contig N50 lengths were 53.17 Mb and 2.64 Mb, respectively, with repeat sequences constituting 64.46% of the genome. Furthermore, 26,130 protein-coding genes and 96.75% of the genome's BUSCOs were identified. This inaugural report of a B. areolata genome provides crucial foundational information for further investigations into the biology, genomics, and genetic improvement of economic traits of this species.
期刊介绍：
Scientific Data is an open-access journal focused on data, publishing descriptions of research datasets and articles on data sharing across natural sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Its goal is to enhance the sharing and reuse of scientific data, encourage broader data sharing, and acknowledge those who share their data.
The journal primarily publishes Data Descriptors, which offer detailed descriptions of research datasets, including data collection methods and technical analyses validating data quality. These descriptors aim to facilitate data reuse rather than testing hypotheses or presenting new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses.
