The stink bug Arma custos (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is a predatory enemy successfully used for biocontrol of lepidopteran and coleopteran pests in notorious invasive species. In this study, a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of A. custos was achieved through a combination of Illumina sequencing, PacBio HiFi sequencing, and Hi-C scaffolding techniques. The final assembled genome was 969.02 Mb in size, with 935.94 Mb anchored to seven chromosomes, and a scaffold N50 length of 135.75 Mb. This genome comprised 52.78% repetitive elements. The detected complete BUSCO score was 99.34%, indicating its completeness. A total of 13,708 protein-coding genes were predicted in the genome, and 13219 of them were annotated. This genome provides an invaluable resource for further research on various aspects of predatory bugs, such as biology, genetics, and functional genomics.
稻绿蝽(半翅目:蝽科)是一种捕食性天敌,已成功用于对臭名昭著的入侵物种中的鳞翅目和鞘翅目害虫进行生物防治。在本研究中,通过Illumina测序、PacBio HiFi测序和Hi-C支架技术相结合,获得了高质量的稻绿蝽染色体级基因组组装。最终组装的基因组大小为969.02 Mb,其中935.94 Mb锚定到7条染色体上,支架N50长度为135.75 Mb。该基因组包含52.78%的重复元件。检测到的完整BUSCO得分是99.34%,表明其完整性。基因组中共预测了13708个蛋白质编码基因,其中13219个得到注释。该基因组为进一步研究捕食性蝽类的生物学、遗传学和功能基因组学等各个方面提供了宝贵资源。
