# The genome sequence of the flutter-wing fly, Palloptera scutellata (Macquart, 1835)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the flutter-wing fly, Palloptera scutellata, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The paper provides the first genome assembly for the flutter-wing fly, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 415.6 megabases and is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.93 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Palloptera scutellata (the flutter-wing fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Pallopteridae). The genome sequence is 415.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.93 kilobases in length.
