The genome sequence of the Common Sun Beetle, Amara aenea (De Geer, 1774) (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Amara aenea (Common Sun Beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Carabidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 880.37 megabases and 779.72 megabases. Most of the haplotype 1 assembly (91.85%) was scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.33 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
