摘要

Eriophyoidea represents a highly diverse superfamily of herbivorous mites in the Acariformes, including over 5,000 named species that are distributed worldwide. However, the lack of chromosome-level genome prevents our understanding of the evolution in this group. Here, we report the first chromosome-level genome assembly of Setoptus koraiensis using Illumina, PacBio, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The assembled genome has a size of 47 Mb with an N50 of 24.53 Mb, anchored into two chromosomes. The chromosome-level genome assembly had a BUSCO completeness of 89%. We identified 5,954 protein-coding genes, with 4,770 genes that could be functionally annotated. This genome provides resources to further understand the genetic and evolution of eriophyoid mites.
