# The genome sequence of a hoverfly, Pocota personata (Harris, 1780)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the hoverfly Pocota personata, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the genome assembly of Pocota personata, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome sequencing.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 845.2 megabases and includes 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.04 kilobases long and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Pocota personata (a hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 845.2 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 16.04 kilobases in length.
