# The genome sequence of a dung beetle, Aphodius : ( Calamosternus) granarius Linnaeus, 1767

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the dung beetle Aphodius granarius, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study presents a new genome assembly for the dung beetle Aphodius granarius, including scaffolded chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 397.20 megabases long and scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 22.13 kilobases in length.
- The assembly includes the X sex chromosome.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Aphodius granarius (dung beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Scarabaeidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 397.20 megabases. The assembly is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 22.13 kilobases.
