Ross, L., & Watson, G.W. 2024 The genome sequence of the New Zealand flax mealybug, Trionymus diminutus (previously known as Balanococcus diminutus) (Leonardi, 1918). Wellcome Open Research https://doi.org/10.12688/wellcomeopenres.21666.1

Keywords:

  • DNA sequencing
  • genome
  • Notes: We present a genome assembly from an individual female Trionymus diminutus (formerly Balanococcus diminutus) (New Zealand flax mealybug; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hemiptera; Pseudococcidae). The genome sequence is 313.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.68 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,939 protein coding genes.
