Mar 19, 2024 · Abstract. We present a chromosomal-level genome assembly from an individual Tridacna gigas (the giant clam; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Veneroida; Cardiidae). The genome sequence is 1,175.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
Mar 14, 2024 · Giant clams ( Tridacna gigas) in the waters off Rose Atoll. The size of clams ranges from 0.1 mm (0.004 inch) in Condylocardia to 1.2 metres across in the giant clam ( Tridacna gigas) of the Pacific and Indian oceans. Many species, including the quahog, geoduck, and soft-shell clam, are edible.

Mar 18, 2024 · Bivalves range in size from about one millimetre (0.04 inch) in length to the giant clam of South Pacific coral reefs, Tridacna gigas, which may be more than 137 centimetres (54 inches) in length and weigh 264 kilograms (582 pounds). Such an animal may have a life span of about 40 years.
In the present study, we identified a DAX1 (designed as Tc-DAX1) gene from the boring giant clam Tridacna crocea, a tropical marine bivalve. The full length of Tc-DAX1 was 1877 bp, encoding 462 amino acids, with a Molecular weight of 51.81 kDa and a theoretical Isoelectric point of 5.87 (pI).
