# The genome sequence of a soldierfly, Nemotelus nigrinus (Fallén, 1817)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the soldierfly Nemotelus nigrinus, including chromosomal scaffolding and the mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly for Nemotelus nigrinus, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 722.2 megabases and is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 18.94 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Nemotelus nigrinus (a soldierfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Stratiomyidae). The genome sequence is 722.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 18.94 kilobases in length.
