# The genome sequence of the lesser earwig, Labia minor (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the lesser earwig, Labia minor, providing a detailed genetic map of the species.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for the lesser earwig, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial scaffolds.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 604.50 megabases.
- Seven chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X chromosome, were scaffolded.
- Two mitochondrial scaffolds were successfully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Labia minor (the lesser earwig; Arthropoda; Insecta; Dermaptera; Spongiphoridae). The genome sequence spans 604.50 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. Two mitochondrial scaffolds were also assembled.
