# The genome sequence of a braconid wasp, Aleiodes leptofemur van Achterberg & Shaw, 2016

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of a braconid wasp, Aleiodes leptofemur, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Aleiodes leptofemur, a braconid wasp, with scaffolding into chromosomal pseudomolecules.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 271.20 megabases.
- The mitochondrial genome is 32.28 kilobases in length.
- Most of the assembly is organized into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Aleiodes leptofemur (braconid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Braconidae). The genome sequence spans 271.20 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 15 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 32.28 kilobases in length.
