Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Pterostichus niger (a ground beetle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Carabidae). The genome sequence is 674.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.16 kilobases in length.

Background
The ground beetle Pterostichus niger (Schaller, 1783) is the largest of 18 species of the genus Pterostichus Bonelli, 1810 occurring in Britain and Ireland, and the only British member of the subgenus Platysma Bonelli, 1810. It is common and generally distributed throughout the British Isles, including in the Orkneys, the Shetlands, and most of the smaller islands. Like many larger Carabidae in Britain, adults and larvae are terrestrial predators, and P. niger can be abundant in a range of habitats from forests to moorlands and mountains, usually favouring damper biotopes. Globally, the Palaearctic Catalogue lists P. niger for 39 European and 7 Asian countries, most frequently in the north but extending southwest to Spain and east to West Siberia and Western China, but it is apparently absent from Portugal and North Africa ( Löbl & Löbl, 2017).
Pterostichus niger is a distinctive insect, and in Britain could only be confused with the similarly sized carabids Pterostichus melanarius (Illiger, 1798) and Abax parallelepipedus (Piller & Mitterpacher, 1783), both of which can be abundant in the same habitats, but which can be easily differentiated by the shape of the pronotum. Species identification is straightforward using Luff (2007) or Lindroth (1974). P. niger is a nocturnal predator primarily of slugs, worms and insect larvae on the ground and in forest litter. Adults can be collected almost all year, by night-searching, looking under logs and loose bark, or by pitfall trapping. It has flight wings, but it appears that most individuals do not have the flight muscles developed and the species is rarely if ever observed to fly.
The genome of Pterostichus niger was sequenced as part of the Darwin Tree of Life Project, a collaborative effort to sequence all named eukaryotic species in the Atlantic Archipelago of Britain and Ireland. Here we present a chromosomally complete genome sequence for Pterostichus niger, based on one male specimen collected in September 2021 by a small Natural History Museum team at Bookham Common, Surrey, England.
Genome sequence report
The genome was sequenced from one male Pterostichus niger ( Figure 1) collected from Bookham Common, England, UK (51.29, –0.39, Ordnance Survey Grid Reference TQ1256). A total of 29-fold coverage in Pacific Biosciences single-molecule HiFi long reads was generated. Primary assembly contigs were scaffolded with chromosome conformation Hi-C data. Manual assembly curation corrected 175 missing joins or mis-joins and removed 10 haplotypic duplications, reducing the assembly length by 0.75% and the scaffold number by 40.92%, and increasing the scaffold N50 by 18.2%.

The final assembly has a total length of 674.1 Mb in 178 sequence scaffolds with a scaffold N50 of 36.9 Mb ( Table 1). The snailplot in Figure 2 provides a summary of the assembly statistics, while the distribution of assembly scaffolds on GC proportion and coverage is shown in Figure 3. The cumulative assembly plot in Figure 4 shows curves for subsets of scaffolds assigned to different phyla. Most (97.06%) of the assembly sequence was assigned to 19 chromosomal-level scaffolds, representing 18 autosomes and the X sex chromosome. Chromosome-scale scaffolds confirmed by the Hi-C data are named in order of size ( Figure 5; Table 2). While not fully phased, the assembly deposited is of one haplotype. Contigs corresponding to the second haplotype have also been deposited. The mitochondrial genome was also assembled and can be found as a contig within the multifasta file of the genome submission.

The BlobToolKit Snailplot shows N50 metrics and BUSCO gene completeness. The main plot is divided into 1,000 size-ordered bins around the circumference with each bin representing 0.1% of the 674,098,515 bp assembly. The distribution of scaffold lengths is shown in dark grey with the plot radius scaled to the longest scaffold present in the assembly (45,804,315 bp, shown in red). Orange and pale-orange arcs show the N50 and N90 scaffold lengths (36,870,366 and 23,707,136 bp), respectively. The pale grey spiral shows the cumulative scaffold count on a log scale with white scale lines showing successive orders of magnitude. The blue and pale-blue area around the outside of the plot shows the distribution of GC, AT and N percentages in the same bins as the inner plot. A summary of complete, fragmented, duplicated and missing BUSCO genes in the endopterygota_odb10 set is shown in the top right.

Methods
Sample acquisition and nucleic acid extraction
A male Pterostichus niger (specimen ID NHMUK014439795, ToLID icPteNige1) was collected from Bookham Common, England, UK (latitude 51.29, longitude –0.39) on 2021-09-19. The specimen was collected by Maxwell Barclay, Michael Geiser, Danaë Vassiliades, Will Bayfield Farrell and Joana Cristóvão and identified by Maxwell Barclay (Natural History Museum). The specimen was dry frozen at –80 °C.
The workflow for high molecular weight (HMW) DNA extraction at the Wellcome Sanger Institute (WSI) includes a sequence of core procedures: sample preparation; sample homogenisation; DNA extraction; HMW DNA fragmentation; and fragmented DNA clean-up. The icPteNige1 sample was prepared for DNA extraction at the WSI Tree of Life laboratory: it was weighed and dissected on dry ice with tissue set aside for Hi-C sequencing ( https://dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.x54v9prmqg3e/v1). Sample homogenisation was carried on using the Powermasher protocol ( https://dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.5qpvo3r19v4o/v1). DNA was extracted at the WSI Scientific Operations core using the Qiagen MagAttract HMW DNA kit, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
RNA was extracted from abdomen tissue of icPteNige1 using the Automated MagMax™ mirVana protocol ( https://dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.6qpvr36n3vmk/v1). The RNA concentration was assessed using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer and Qubit Fluorometer using the Qubit RNA Broad-Range (BR) Assay kit. Analysis of the integrity of the RNA was done using the Agilent RNA 6000 Pico Kit and Eukaryotic Total RNA assay.
Protocols employed by the Tree of Life laboratory are publicly available on protocols.io: https://dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.8epv5xxy6g1b/v1.
Sequencing
Pacific Biosciences HiFi circular consensus DNA sequencing libraries were constructed according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Poly(A) RNA-Seq libraries were constructed using the NEB Ultra II RNA Library Prep kit. DNA and RNA sequencing was performed by the Scientific Operations core at the WSI on Pacific Biosciences SEQUEL II (HiFi) and Illumina NovaSeq 6000 (RNA-Seq) instruments. Hi-C data were also generated from head tissue of icPteNige1 using the Arima2 kit and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 instrument.
Genome assembly, curation and evaluation
Assembly was carried out with Hifiasm ( Cheng et al., 2021) and haplotypic duplication was identified and removed with purge_dups ( Guan et al., 2020). The assembly was then scaffolded with Hi-C data ( Rao et al., 2014) using YaHS ( Zhou et al., 2023). The assembly was checked for contamination and corrected using the gEVAL system ( Chow et al., 2016) as described previously ( Howe et al., 2021). Manual curation was performed using gEVAL, HiGlass ( Kerpedjiev et al., 2018) and Pretext ( Harry, 2022). The mitochondrial genome was assembled using MitoHiFi ( Uliano-Silva et al., 2023), which runs MitoFinder ( Allio et al., 2020) or MITOS ( Bernt et al., 2013) and uses these annotations to select the final mitochondrial contig and to ensure the general quality of the sequence.
A Hi-C map for the final assembly was produced using bwa-mem2 ( Vasimuddin et al., 2019) in the Cooler file format ( Abdennur & Mirny, 2020). To assess the assembly metrics, the k-mer completeness and QV consensus quality values were calculated in Merqury ( Rhie et al., 2020). This work was done using Nextflow ( Di Tommaso et al., 2017) DSL2 pipelines “sanger-tol/readmapping” ( Surana et al., 2023a) and “sanger-tol/genomenote” ( Surana et al., 2023b). The genome was analysed within the BlobToolKit environment ( Challis et al., 2020) and BUSCO scores ( Manni et al., 2021; Simão et al., 2015) were calculated.
