A chromosome-level genome assembly of the hard clam (''Meretrix lamarckii'') was published in 2026. The genome size is approximately 1.02 Gb, with 93.5% of the assembly anchored to 19 chromosomes. The assembly has a BUSCO completeness of 98.2%, and 29,614 protein-coding genes were predicted.{{cite journal |
