# The genome sequence of the Atlantic Strawberry Cockle, Americardia media (Linnaeus, 1758) (Cardiida: Cardiidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Atlantic Strawberry Cockle, a bivalve mollusk, including two haplotypes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Americardia media, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and a mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,299.87 and 1,284.99 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules covering 99.42% of the assembly.
- The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 47.2 kilobases.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Americardia media (Atlantic Strawberry Cockle; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Cardiida; Cardiidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 299.87 megabases and 1 284.99 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.42%) is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 47.2 kilobases.
