Abstract

Abstract* Many molluscan genomes have been published to date, however only three are from representatives of the subphylum Aculifera (Polyplacophora, Caudofoveata, and Solenogastres), the sister taxon to all other molluscs. Currently, genomic resources are completely lacking for Solenogastres. This gap in knowledge hinders comparative and evolutionary studies. Here, we sequenced the genomes of the solenogaster aplacophorans Epimenia babai Salvini-Plawen, 1997 and Neomenia megatrapezata Salvini-Plawen & Paar-Gausch, 2004 using a hybrid approach combining Oxford Nanopore and Illumina reads. For E. babai, we produced a 628 Mbp haploid assembly (N50 = 413 Kbp, L50 = 370) that is rather complete with a BUSCO completeness score of 90.1% (82.0% single, 8.1% duplicated, 6.0% fragmented, and 3.9% missing). For N. megatrapezata, we produced a 412 Mbp haploid assembly (N50 = 132 Kbp, L50 = 881) that is also rather complete with a BUSCO completeness score of 85.1% (81.7% single, 3.4% duplicated, 8.1% fragmented, and 6.8% missing). Our annotation pipeline predicted 25,393 gene models for E. babai with a BUSCO score of 92.4% (80.5% single, 11.9% duplicated, 4.9% fragmented, and 2.7% missing) and 22,463 gene models for N. megatrapezata with a BUSCO score of 90.2% (81.0% single, 9.2% duplicated, 4.7% fragmented, and 5.1% missing). Phylogenomic analysis recovered Solenogastres as the sister taxon to Polyplacophora and Aculifera as the sister taxon to all other sampled molluscs with maximal support. These represent the first whole-genome resources for Solenogastres and will be valuable for future studies investigating this understudied group and molluscan evolution as a whole.
