# The genome sequence of a stiletto fly, Thereva unica (Harris, 1780)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the stiletto fly Thereva unica, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly for the stiletto fly species Thereva unica.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 910.1 megabases and is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.66 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Thereva unica (a stiletto fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Therevidae). The genome sequence is 910.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.66 kilobases in length.
