Genetic diversity of Anadara tuberculosa in two localities of the Colombian Pacific Coast.

ABSTRACT: Piangua, Anadara tuberculosa, is an economically important mollusk for the human population living on the Colombian Pacific Coast. In the last years, the demand and exploitation of this mollusk have increased, putting it at risk to the point of being endangered. This research aimed to identify the genetic diversity and population structure of piangua in two localities on the Pacific Coast of Colombia. We assembled a chromosome-level genome using PacBio-Hifi and Arima sequencing. We obtained 274 scaffolds with an N50 of 45.42 Mbp, a total size of 953 Mbp, and a completeness of 91% based on BUSCO scores. The transposable elements accounted for 30.29% of the genome, and 24,317 genes were annotated. Genome-guided variant calling for 89 samples using DArT sequencing data delivered 4,825 bi-alle
