Pomacea occulta Genome sequencing
We generated a chromosome-level genome assembly for Pomacea occulta, a freshwater apple snail in the family Ampullariidae. This assembly provides a high-quality genomic resource for studies of chromosome organization, gene structure, repetitive sequences, and genome evolution in ampullariid gastropods. As P. occulta is a recently described species that is closely related to other cryptic apple snails, this genome will facilitate comparative genomics, phylogeny, population genetics, molecular taxonomy, and studies of ecological adaptation and invasion biology. The dataset is intended to serve as a reference genome for future research on the biology and evolution of Pomacea occulta.
