# The genome sequence of the Stripe-backed Dasysyrphus, Dasysyrphus albostriatus (Fallén, 1817)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Stripe-backed Dasysyrphus, a type of hoverfly, including detailed gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Dasysyrphus albostriatus.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 662.5 megabases and includes 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 12,259 protein coding genes.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.55 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Dasysyrphus albostriatus (the Stripe-backed Dasysyrphus; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 662.5 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 17.55 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,259 protein coding genes.
