# The genome sequence of the Alder leaf beetle, Agelastica alni (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Alder leaf beetle, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Agelastica alni.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 692.27 megabases long, with 98.71% scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 13,498 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a specimen of
Agelastica alni (Alder leaf beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 692.27 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.71%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.39 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 13,498 protein-coding genes.
