# The genome sequence of the Rock-rose Pot Beetle, Cryptocephalus primarius Harold, 1872

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Rock-rose Pot Beetle, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for the Rock-rose Pot Beetle.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 370.99 megabases long with 87.88% scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.97 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 10,661 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of
Cryptocephalus primarius (Rock-rose Pot Beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 370.99 megabases. Most of the assembly (87.88%) is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.97 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 10,661 protein-coding genes.
