The genome sequence of a seed weevil, Oxystoma pomonae (Fabricius, 1798) (Coleoptera: Apionidae)
We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Oxystoma pomonae</i> (seed weevil; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Apionidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 174.34 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.97%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 18.2 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 14 352 protein-coding genes. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
