TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the thistle gall fly, Urophora cardui, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.
Contribution
The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Urophora cardui, including scaffolded chromosomes and mitochondrial genome.
Findings
The genome assembly is 837.80 megabases long.
Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The mitochondrial genome is 20.37 kilobases in length.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female thistle gall fly, Urophora cardui (Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tephritidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 837.80 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.37 kilobases in length.
