The genome sequence of a click beetle, Melanotus villosus (Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Melanotus villosus (click beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Elateridae). The genome sequence is 803.5 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.91 kilobases in length.
