To date, several Mollusca genomes are currently available and new assemblies are released every year at an increasing trend (reviewed in Refs 16 – 18 ) Despite this, to date, only three Unionida mussel genomes have been published, Venustaconcha ellipsiformis (Conrad, 1836), 19 Megalonaias nervosa (Rafinesque, 1820), 20 and Potamilus streckersoni (Smith, Johnson, Inoue, Doyle & Randklev, 2019). 21 Therefore, considering the importance of increasing the availability of genomic resources for Unionida, this study presents the first draft genome assembly of the freshwater pearl mussel M. margaritifera.
