  • Title: A high-quality genome of the convergent lady beetle, Hippodamia convergens.
    Author: Ang G, Zhang A, Obrycki J, Sethuraman A.
    Journal: G3 (Bethesda); 2024 Jun 05; 14(6):. PubMed ID: 38620009.
    Abstract:
    Here, we describe a high-quality genome assembly and annotation of the convergent lady beetle, Hippodamia convergens (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). The highest quality unmasked genome comprises 619 megabases (Mb) of chromosomal DNA, organized into 899 contigs, with a contig N50 score of 89 Mbps. The genome was assessed to be 96% complete (BUSCO). Reconstruction of a whole-genome phylogeny resolved H. convergens as sister to the Harlequin lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis, and nested within a clade of several known agricultural pests.
