TL;DR
This paper provides the genome sequence of the dung beetle Geotrupes spiniger, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotation.
Contribution
The study presents a high-quality genome assembly with chromosomal-level scaffolding and gene annotation for Geotrupes spiniger.
Findings
The genome assembly is 580.60 megabases long with 81.94% scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The mitochondrial genome is 21.66 kilobases in length.
Gene annotation identified 12,820 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male specimen of the dung beetle, Geotrupes spiniger (Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Geotrupidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 580.60 megabases. Most of the assembly (81.94%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.66 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,820 protein-coding genes.
Genes, proteins, chemicals, diseases, species, mutations and cell lines named across the full text — each resolved to its canonical identifier and authoritative record.
