The genome sequence of a beetle, <i>Brachypterus glaber</i> (Newman, 1834)

We present a genome assembly from an individual female specimen of <i>Brachypterus glaber</i> (beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Kateretidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 648.30 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.55%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 21.86 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 23,733 protein-coding genes.
