Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual leaf beetle, Galeruca laticollis (Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,154.60 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.92%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.98 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 32,229 protein-coding genes.
