# The genome sequence of a bark-dwelling beetle, Silvanus unidentatus (Olivier, 1790)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the bark-dwelling beetle Silvanus unidentatus, including chromosomal scaffolds and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for the beetle Silvanus unidentatus.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 187.15 megabases long, with 84.24% scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.15 kilobases in length and has been assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 11,364 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of
Silvanus unidentatus (bark-dwelling beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Silvanidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 187.15 megabases. Most of the assembly (84.24%) is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.15 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,364 protein-coding genes.
