Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Agrypnus murinus (a click beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Elateridae). The genome sequence is 1,578.5 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 18.23 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 42,204 protein coding genes.
