# The genome sequence of the long-horned nomad bee, Nomada hirtipes Pérez, 1884

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the long-horned nomad bee, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The paper provides the first genome assembly for the long-horned nomad bee, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 316.5 megabases long, with 90.79% scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 29.88 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 11,693 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Nomada hirtipes (the long-horned nomad bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 316.5 megabases. Most of the assembly (90.79%) is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 29.88 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,693 protein-coding genes.
