# The genome sequence of a hoverfly, Eristalinus aeneus (Scopoli, 1763)

## TL;DR

The genome of the hoverfly Eristalinus aeneus has been sequenced, providing a detailed genetic map of the species.

## Contribution

This study provides the first genome assembly for Eristalinus aeneus, including chromosomal scaffolds and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 495.4 megabases and is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.97 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Eristalinus aeneus (a hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 495.4 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.97 kilobases in length.
