## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the common green furrow bee, including gene annotations and mitochondrial genome data.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly and gene annotation for Lasioglossum morio.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 547 megabases in size with 55.79% scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.8 kilobases long and was successfully assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 11,460 protein coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Lasioglossum morio (the common green furrow bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Halictidae). The genome sequence is 547 megabases in span. Over half of the assembly (55.79%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome was also assembled, and is 16.8 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,460 protein coding genes.
