The genome sequence of the Judas Tree Seed Beetle, Bruchidius siliquastri Delobel, 2007 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Bruchidius siliquastri (the Judas tree Seed Beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae). The genome sequence is 375.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.81 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,940 protein coding genes.
