# The genome sequence of a cranefly Tipula ( Lunatipula) vernalis Meigen, 1804

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the cranefly Tipula vernalis, including chromosomal scaffolds and mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Tipula vernalis.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 1,272.30 megabases long with 4 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.01 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 13,911 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female cranefly
Tipula vernalis (Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tipulidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,272.30 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 4 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.01 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 13,911 protein-coding genes.
