ABSTRACT
The Annelida phylum is composed of a myriad of species exhibiting key phenotypic adaptations. They occupy key ecological niches in a variety of marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. Importantly, the increment of omic resources is rapidly modifying the taxonomic landscape and knowledge of species belonging to this phylum. Here, we comprehensively characterised and annotated a transcriptome of the common ragworm, Hediste diversicolor (OF Müller). This species belongs to the family Nereididae and inhabits estuarine and lagoon areas on the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America. Ecologically, H. diversicolor plays an important role in benthic food webs. Given its commercial value, H. diversicolor is a promising candidate for aquaculture development and production in farming facilities, under a circular economy framework. We used Illumina next-generation sequencing technology, to produce a total of 105 million (M) paired-end (PE) raw reads and generate the first whole-body transcriptome assembly of H. diversicolor species. This high-quality transcriptome contains 69,335 transcripts with an N50 transcript length of 2313 bp and achieved a BUSCO gene completeness of 97.7% and 96% in Eukaryota and Metazoa lineage-specific profile libraries. Our findings offer a valuable resource for multiple biological applications using this species.
