Chemoreception is critical for the survival and reproduction of animals. Except for a reduced group of insects and spiders, the molecular identity of chemosensory proteins is poorly understood in invertebrates. Gastropoda is the extant mollusk class with the greatest species richness, including marine, freshwater, and terrestrial lineages, and likely, highly diverse chemoreception systems. Here, we performed a comprehensive comparative genome analysis taking advantage of the chromosome-level information of two Gastropoda species, one of which belongs to a lineage that underwent a whole genome duplication event. We identified thousands of previously uncharacterized chemosensory-related genes, the majority of them encoding G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), mostly organized into clusters distributed across all chromosomes. We also detected gene families encoding degenerin epithelial sodium channels (DEG-ENaC), ionotropic receptors (IR), sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMP), Niemann–Pick type C2 (NPC2) proteins, and lipocalins, although much smaller in size. Our phylogenetic analysis of the GPCR gene family across protostomes revealed: (i) large gene family expansions in Gastropoda; (ii) clades including members from all protostomes; and (iii) species-specific clades with a huge number of receptors. For the first time, we provide new and valuable knowledge into the evolution of the chemosensory gene families in invertebrates other than arthropods.
