TL;DR
This paper provides the genome sequence of the common dung beetle, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA, as part of a larger project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.
Contribution
The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for Aphodius fimetarius, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.
Findings
The genome assembly is 1,343.38 megabases long with 72.44% scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The mitochondrial genome is 22.01 kilobases long and has been fully assembled.
The work is part of the Darwin Tree of Life project focusing on species from Britain and Ireland.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Aphodius fimetarius (Common dung beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Scarabaeidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 343.38 megabases. Most of the assembly (72.44%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 22.01 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.
