Abstrakt: The carnivorous gastropod Rapana venosa (Valenciennes, 1846) is one of the most notorious ecological invaders worldwide. Here, we present the first high-quality chromosome-scale reference R. venosa genome obtained via PacBio sequencing, Illumina paired-end sequencing, and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture scaffolding. The assembled genome has a size of 2.30 Gb, with a scaffold N50 length of 64.63 Mb, and is anchored to 35 chromosomes. It contains 29,649 protein-coding genes, 77.22% of which were functionally annotated. Given its high heterozygosity (1.41%) and large proportion of repeat sequences (57.72%), it is one of the most complex genome assemblies. This chromosome-level genome assembly of R. venosa is an important resource for understanding molluscan evolutionary adaption and provides a genetic basis for its biological invasion control.
