# The genome sequence of the Mournful Wasp, Pemphredon lugubris (Fabricius, 1793)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Mournful Wasp, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Pemphredon lugubris, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 328.1 megabases and is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.88 kilobases in length and has been assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 10,335 protein coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Pemphredon lugubris (the Mournful Wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Crabronidae). The genome sequence is 328.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.88 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 10,335 protein coding genes.
