The genome of the simultaneously hermaphroditic snail Lymnaea stagnalis reveals an evolutionary expansion of FMRFamide-like receptors.

ABSTRACT: The great pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis has served as a model organism for over a century in diverse disciplines such as neurophysiology, evolution, ecotoxicology and developmental biology. To support both established uses and newly emerging research interests we have performed whole genome sequencing (avg.176 × depth), assembly and annotation of a single individual derived from an inbred line. These efforts resulted in a final assembly of 943 Mb (L50 = 257; N50 = 957,215) with a total of 22,499 predicted gene models. The mitogenome was found to be 13,834 bp long and similarly organized as in other lymnaeid species, with minor differences in location of tRNA genes. As a first step towards understanding the hermaphroditic reproductive biology of L. stagnalis, we identified molecular receptor
