The genome sequence of a flea beetle, Neocrepidodera transversa (Marsham, 1802) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Neocrepidodera transversa (flea beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 671.30 megabases. Most of the assembly (93.58%) is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.02 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 13,840 protein-coding genes.
