The genome sequence of the 24-spot ladybird, Subcoccinella vigintiquattuorpunctata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Subcoccinella vigintiquattuorpunctata</i> (24-spot ladybird; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Coccinellidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 532.03 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.41%) is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 18.91 kilobases. 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.
