# The genome sequence of a longhorn beetle, Rhagium mordax (Degeer, 1775)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the longhorn beetle Rhagium mordax, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Rhagium mordax, a species in the Cerambycidae family.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 775.60 megabases long, with 99.53% scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.68 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 11,937 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female specimen of
Rhagium mordax (longhorn beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Cerambycidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 775.60 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.53%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.68 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,937 protein-coding genes.
