摘要	Diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin centrata) exhibit strong environmental adaptability and live in both freshwater and saltwater. However, the genetic basis of this adaptability has not been the focus of research. In this study, we successfully constructed a similar to 2.21-Gb chromosome-level genome assembly for M. t. centrata using high-coverage and high-depth genomic sequencing data generated on multiple platforms. The M. t. centrata genome contains 25 chromosomes and the scaffold N50 of similar to 143.75 Mb, demonstrating high continuity and accuracy. In total, 53.82% of the genome assembly was composed of repetitive sequences, and 22 435 protein-coding genes were predicted. Our phylogenetic analysis indicated that M. t. centrata was closely related to the red-eared slider turtle (Trachemys scripta elegans), with divergence approximately similar to 23.6 million years ago (Mya) during the early Neogene period of the Cenozoic era. The population size of M. t. centrata decreased significantly over the past similar to 14 Mya during the Cenozoic era. Comparative genomic analysis indicated that 36 gene families related to ion transport were expanded and several genes (AQP3, solute carrier subfamily, and potassium channel genes) underwent specific amino acid site mutations in the M. t. centrata genome. Changes to these ion transport-related genes may have contributed to the remarkable salinity adaptability of diamondback terrapin. The results of this study not only provide a high-quality reference genome for M. t. centrata but also elucidate the possible genetic basis for salinity adaptation in this species.
