# The genome sequence of a longhorn beetle, Stictoleptura scutellata (Fabricius, 1781) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the longhorn beetle Stictoleptura scutellata, including two haplotypes and a mitochondrial genome, as part of a larger project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality reference genome for Stictoleptura scutellata, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and a mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 1,471.09 and 1,480.10 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X chromosome.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.97 kilobases long.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Stictoleptura scutellata (longhorn beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Cerambycidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 471.09 megabases and 1 480.10 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.33%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome, while haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.97 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.
