Genomic analysis reports a 282.7-megabase chromosome-level assembly in the orchid beetle Dascillus cervinus, highlighting coleopteran chromosome architecture.
<ns4:p>We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns4:italic>Dascillus cervinus</ns4:italic> (the Orchid Beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Dascillidae). The genome sequence is 282.7 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.66 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 15,761 protein coding genes.</ns4:p>
