# The genome sequence of a seed weevil, Aspidapion aeneum (Fabricius, 1775)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the seed weevil Aspidapion aeneum, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly for Aspidapion aeneum, including 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 1,286.20 megabases in total length.
- 98.78% of the assembly is organized into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 21.49 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of
Aspidapion aeneum (seed weevil; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Apionidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,286.20 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.78%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.49 kilobases in length.
