# The genome sequence of the bulrush Neoascia, Neoascia interrupta (Meigen, 1822)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the bulrush Neoascia, a type of fly, including its chromosomal structure and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The paper provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for the bulrush Neoascia.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 601.9 megabases and is scaffolded into 4 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.76 kilobases long.
- Ensembl identified 22,086 protein-coding genes in the assembly.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Neoascia interrupta (the bulrush Neoascia; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 601.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 4 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.76 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 22,086 protein coding genes.
