Genome assembly reveals 15,692 protein-coding genes and 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules in Ceutorhynchus obstrictus, indicating a significant resource for future studies.

Key Points

The aim is to present a complete genome assembly of the cabbage seedpod weevil to enhance genomic resources for the species.
Genome assembly was conducted for an individual male Ceutorhynchus obstrictus.
Total genome length was measured at 728.81 megabases.
The assembly includes 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.
93.83% of the genome is organized into chromosomal pseudomolecules.
15,692 protein-coding genes were annotated in the genome.
The mitochondrial genome was assembled successfully, with a length of 22.73 kilobases.
