The First Genome Survey of the Snail Provanna glabra Inhabiting Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents.

ABSTRACT: The snail P. glabra is an endemic species in deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems of the Northwest Pacific Ocean. To obtain more genetic information on this species and provide the basis for subsequent whole-genome map construction, a genome survey was performed on this snail from the hydrothermal vent of Okinawa Trough. The genomic size of P. glabra was estimated to be 1.44 Gb, with a heterozygosity of 1.91% and a repeated sequence content of 69.80%. Based on the sequencing data, a draft genome of 1.32 Gb was assembled. Transposal elements (TEs) accounted for 40.17% of the entire genome, with DNA transposons taking the highest proportion. It was found that most TEs were inserted in the genome recently. In the simple sequence repeats, the dinucleotide motif was the most enriche
