Abstract

We present a chromosomal-level genome assembly from an individual Tridacna gigas (the giant clam; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Veneroida; Cardiidae). The genome sequence is 1,175.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 25.34 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 18,177 protein coding genes.
