# The genome sequence of a mirid bug, Stenodema calcarata (Fallen, 1807)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the mirid bug Stenodema calcarata, providing a detailed genetic blueprint of the species.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Stenodema calcarata, including a highly scaffolded chromosomal-level assembly.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 575.35 megabases in total length.
- 98.42% of the assembly is organized into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 19.31 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of
Stenodema calcarata (mirid bug; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hemiptera; Miridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 575.35 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.42%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.31 kilobases in length.
