# The genome sequence of a heleomyzid fly, Suillia variegata (Loew, 1862)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a male heleomyzid fly, Suillia variegata, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly of Suillia variegata, including scaffolded chromosomes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 264.0 megabases and is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.17 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Suillia variegata (a heleomyzid fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Heleomyzidae). The genome sequence is 264.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.17 kilobases in length.
