# The genome sequence of a sawfly, Macrophya alboannulata (Costa, 1859)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the sawfly Macrophya alboannulata, including gene annotations and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Macrophya alboannulata, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotation.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 245.2 megabases and is scaffolded into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 23.17 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 24,359 protein coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Macrophya alboannulata (sawfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Tenthredinidae). The genome sequence is 245.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 8 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 23.17 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 24,359 protein coding genes.
