Chromosome-level genome assembly of the disco clam, Ctenoides ales, a first for the bivalve order Limida

This paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the disco clam, Ctenoides ales, from the bivalve order Limida, which lacks genomic resources, and reports its mitochondrial genome and opsin inventory.

Single-molecule sequencing of animal mitochondrial genomes reveals chloroplast-like architecture and repeat-mediated recombination

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze mitochondrial genomes of two snail species, revealing chloroplast-like architecture and repeat-mediated recombination, suggesting non-maternal mitochondrial inheritance.
