A chromosomal-level genome assembly of Batocera lineolata Chevrolat, 1852 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) (opens in new tab)

The white-striped longhorned beetle, Batocera lineolata, is an important forestry pest, with larvae that damage vascular and woody tissues, frequently leading to tree mortality. The lack of a high-quality genome has constrained research into the mechanisms underlying its damage. Here, we report a chromosome-scale genome of B. lineolata, constructed through an integrated approach combining PacBio HiFi, Hi-C, and Illumina RNA sequencing data. The assembled genome of B. lineolata spans 327.96 Mb...
