# The genome sequence of a hoverfly, Syrphus vitripennis (Meigen, 1822)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the hoverfly Syrphus vitripennis, including its chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Syrphus vitripennis, including scaffolded chromosomes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 388.8 megabases and is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 18.33 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- The XY sex chromosome is included in the chromosomal scaffolding.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Syrphus vitripennis (a hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 388.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the XY sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 18.33 kilobases in length.
