# The genome sequence of a beetle, Pycnomerus fuliginosus Erichson, 1842

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the beetle Pycnomerus fuliginosus, including chromosomal scaffolds and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Pycnomerus fuliginosus.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 359.22 megabases long with 95.81% scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.21 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 11,547 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female
Pycnomerus fuliginosus (beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Zopheridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 359.22 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.81%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.21 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,547 protein-coding genes.
