[Atlantic dog whelk (Nucella lapillus) genome] - DRAFT: Annotated genome of the Atlantic dog whelk, Nucella lapillus (Local adaptation and the evolution of plasticity under predator invasion and warming seas: consequences for individuals, populations and communities)

As a direct developer, this species has limited dispersal but is broad geographic range makes it ideal for studies of population structure, isolation by distance, and selection across different environmental gradients. The fully annotated genome generated ~37X coverage and the genome assembly is 2.32 Gbp.

Genomic resources for mollusks are relatively limited compared to other phyla and this new genome will enhance our understanding of genomic variation in mollusks and studies seeking to link genomic variation with organismal performance and community-level processes under various dimensions of environmental change.
