Our manuscript describing a high-quality genome of the convergent lady beetle, Hippodamia convergens is now out in G3! We used the Dovetail Genomics platform to generate long (PacBio) and short read (Illumina) data, benchmark assembly with wtdbg2, Flye and Canu; with a winning Canu+purge_dups+RagTag scaffolded assembly with an N50 of 89 Mbps with a majority of the genome in a handful of scaffolds. We also resolve its species tree among Coleopterans using whole genome phylogenetic reconstruction. Congratulations to Gavrila Ang and Andrew Zhang on this neat study! Read here.
