# The genome sequence of a leaf beetle, Galerucella nymphaeae (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the leaf beetle Galerucella nymphaeae, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and mitochondrial sequence for Galerucella nymphaeae, a leaf beetle species.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 350.20 megabases long and includes 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.95 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- 99.8% of the genome is scaffolded, including the X sex chromosome.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female specimen of
Galerucella nymphaeae (leaf beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 350.20 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.8%) is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.95 kilobases in length.
