# The genome sequence of a carabid beetle, Carabus problematicus Herbst, 1786

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the carabid beetle Carabus problematicus, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Carabus problematicus.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 254.00 megabases long with 97.1% scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 21.42 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 12,311 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female specimen of
Carabus problematicus (carabid beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Carabidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 254.00 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.1%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.42 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,311 protein-coding genes.
