# The genome sequence of a flea beetle, Neocrepidodera transversa (Marsham, 1802)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the flea beetle Neocrepidodera transversa, including its chromosomal and mitochondrial structure.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for the flea beetle Neocrepidodera transversa.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 671.30 megabases long, with 93.58% scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.02 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 13,840 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of
Neocrepidodera transversa (flea beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 671.30 megabases. Most of the assembly (93.58%) is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.02 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 13,840 protein-coding genes.
