Overview

Genome assembly reveals 13,429 protein-coding genes in Polydrusus tereticollis, suggesting insights into weevil evolution.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assemble and annotate the genome of Polydrusus tereticollis to enhance understanding of weevil genetics.
  • Assembled the genome from an individual male Polydrusus tereticollis.
  • Generated a total genome length of 1,396.11 megabases, scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
  • Conducted gene annotation on Ensembl to identify protein-coding genes.
  • The genome assembly includes the X and Y sex chromosomes.
  • Identified 13,429 protein-coding genes in the assembly.
  • Mitochondrial genome assembled with a length of 20.91 kilobases.
