The genome sequence of the common dung beetle, <i>Aphodius fimetarius</i> (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Aphodius fimetarius (Common dung beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Scarabaeidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 343.38 megabases. Most of the assembly (72.44%) is scaffolded into 11 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 22.01 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.
