Manila Clam Genome-Wide SNP Data from Five Southeastern China Populations

92,593,087 high-quality SNP loci were identified from whole-genome resequencing of 50 wild Manila clam individuals. The data, generated by yatong Yao and last updated in June 2026, supports investigations into population genetic diversity and adaptive variation. Samples were collected from five natural populations along the southeastern coast of China.

Use Cases

• Analyzing population genetic structure based on genome-wide SNP data from five locations
• Investigating gene flow and connectivity among clam populations along the Chinese coast
• Identifying genomic regions under local adaptation using the high-density SNP markers
• Assessing genetic diversity within and between wild Manila clam populations

Strengths

• Contains 92,593,087 high-quality SNP loci for detailed genomic analysis
• Data derived from 50 individual clams across five distinct geographic populations
• Sequencing performed using the Illumina NovaSeq platform with paired-end 150 bp reads

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small at 41.5 KB, indicating it likely contains summary or metadata files rather than raw sequence data
