The family Pyralidae is a large and important group within the superfamily Pyraloidea, consisting of more than 5,900 described species. The rice moth Corcyra cephalonica is a noteworthy pest affecting stored grains and products. However, the absence of high-quality genomes hinders our comprehension of the ecology of C. cephalonica. Herein, we propose a chromosome-level genome of C. cephalonica achieved through integrating Nanopore, Illumina, and Hi-C reads. The genome of 453.37 Mb in size consists of 98 scaffolds and 154 contigs, with a scaffold N50 size of 16.67 Mb. The majority of contigs (99.36%, 450.45 Mb) were effectively anchored to 29 chromosomes. The BUSCO analysis of the assembly revealed a completeness of 99.0% (n = 1,367), identifying 98.6% single-copy BUSCO genes and 0.4% duplicated BUSCO genes. Furthermore, the genome contains 48.74% (220.96 Mb) repeat elements and encompasses 14,135 predicted protein-coding genes. This study offers a valuable genomic foundation for advancing our comprehension of the biology of C. cephalonica.
麦蛾科是鳞翅目麦蛾总科中一个庞大而重要的科,包含超过 5900 个已描述的物种。玉米象 Corcyra cephalonica 是一种影响储粮和产品的重要害虫。然而,由于缺乏高质量的基因组,我们对 C. cephalonica 的生态学了解有限。在此,我们通过整合纳米孔、Illumina 和 Hi-C 读取提出了 C. cephalonica 的染色体水平基因组。该基因组大小为 453.37Mb,由 98 个支架和 154 个 contigs 组成,支架 N50 大小为 16.67Mb。大多数 contigs(99.36%,450.45Mb)有效地锚定在 29 条染色体上。组装的 BUSCO 分析显示完整性为 99.0%(n=1,367),鉴定出 98.6%的单拷贝 BUSCO 基因和 0.4%的重复 BUSCO 基因。此外,基因组包含 48.74%(220.96Mb)的重复元件,包含 14,135 个预测的蛋白质编码基因。这项研究为深入了解 C. cephalonica 的生物学提供了有价值的基因组基础。
