Telomere-to-Telomere Genome Assembly and Annotation for Coridius Chinensis

A gap-free telomere-to-telomere reference genome for the medicinal insect Coridius chinensis. The assembly is 1.60 Gb with 8 pseudo-chromosomes and includes annotation for 12,045 protein-coding genes. This dataset was published by Songtao Tan on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics analysis based on the complete, gap-free genome assembly.
• Evolutionary studies of Hemiptera insects based on the annotated protein-coding genes.
• Functional annotation of insect genes based on the provided GO, KEGG, and Swiss-Prot files.
• Research into medicinal insect biology based on the genome of Coridius chinensis.

Strengths

• Assembly is described as gap-free and telomere-to-telomere, a high-quality standard.
• Genome size is precisely 1.60 Gb with a BUSCO completeness score of 99.5%.
• Contains annotation for 12,045 protein-coding genes with multiple functional annotation sources (GO, KEGG, NR, eggNOG, Swiss-Prot).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• Data may reflect the specific biases inherent to the sequencing and assembly methods used.
