TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the 24-spot ladybird, a key step in understanding its biology and evolution.
Contribution
The paper provides a high-quality reference genome for the 24-spot ladybird, including chromosomal scaffolding and the mitochondrial genome.
Findings
The genome assembly is 532.03 megabases long, with 97.41% scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The mitochondrial genome is 18.91 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
The work is part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, focusing on British and Irish eukaryotic species.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Subcoccinella vigintiquattuorpunctata (24-spot ladybird; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Coccinellidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 532.03 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.41%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 18.91 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.
