Journal: Wellcome Open Research
Year: 2024

We present a genome assembly from an individual male <i>Bruchidius siliquastri</i> (the Judas tree Seed Beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae). The genome sequence is 375.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.81 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,940 protein coding genes.
