Haplotype-resolved genome assembly enables gene discovery in the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus

Abstract The red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically-important invasive species that attacks multiple species of palm trees around the world. A better understanding of gene content and function in R. ferrugineus has the potential to inform pest contro...
