# The genome sequence of the Small Red Damselfly, Ceriagrion tenellum (de Villers, 1789)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Small Red Damselfly, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Ceriagrion tenellum, including scaffolded chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 2,077.00 megabases in total length.
- 99.28% of the assembly is organized into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X chromosome.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.21 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of
Ceriagrion tenellum (Small Red Damselfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Odonata; Coenagrionidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,077.00 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.28%) is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.21 kilobases in length.
