# The genome sequence of the Large Sharp-tail Bee, Coelioxys conoideus (Illiger,1806)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Large Sharp-tail Bee, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly for Coelioxys conoideus, scaffolded into chromosomal pseudomolecules.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 417.6 megabases.
- The mitochondrial genome is 20.8 kilobases in length.
- Most of the genome is organized into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Coelioxys conoideus (the Large Sharp-tail Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Megachilidae). The genome sequence is 417.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.8 kilobases in length.
