AB The freshwater mussel Hyriopsis schlegelii is a cultured bivalve in China, and the quality ofthe pearls produced is affected by the type of gonads. However, because of the lack of apublished genome and the complexity of sex determination, research on sex reversal anddevelopment of this species is limited. In this study, Illumina RNA-seq and PacBio IsoformSequencing (Iso-Seq) were combined to analyze the gonads of H. schlegelii. A total of201,481 high-quality transcripts were generated. The study identified 7,922 differentiallyexpressed genes in three comparison group (females versus males, hermaphroditesversus females, and hermaphrodites versus males). Twenty-four genes were identified aspotential sex-related genes, including sox9 and wnt4 involved in sex determination, andvtg, cyp17a1 and 17β-hsd2 involved in gonadal development. We also speculated apossible pathways for the formation of hermaphroditism in H. schlegelii. The data provide aclear view of the transcriptome for H. schlegelii gonads and will be valuable in elucidatingthe mechanisms of gonad development
