# The genome sequence of the mirid plant bug, Closterotomus trivialis (A.Costa, 1853) (Hemiptera: Miridae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the mirid plant bug Closterototomus trivialis, part of a project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first reference genome assembly for Closterotomus trivialis, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 1,163.70 megabases long with 94.03% scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 19.42 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual
Closterotomus trivialis (mirid plant bug; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hemiptera; Miridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 163.70 megabases. Most of the assembly (94.03%) is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 19.42 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
