# The genome sequence of a barkfly, Mesopsocus fuscifrons Meinander, 1966

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the barkfly Mesopsocus fuscifrons, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly for the species Mesopsocus fuscifrons, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 184.3 megabases and is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 20.13 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Mesopsocus fuscifrons (barkfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Psocodea; Mesopsocidae). The genome sequence is 184.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.13 kilobases in length.
