The aim is to present the genome assembly of the Acorn Weevil, Curculio glandium, contributing to genomic resources for eukaryotes.
Genome assembly from an individual female Curculio glandium
Scaffolding of assembly into chromosomal pseudomolecules
Assembly of mitochondrial genome as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project
Total genome length is 1,121.34 megabases
97.77% of the assembly is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules
The assembled mitochondrial genome length is 21.61 kilobases
