## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Dolichopus griseipennis insect, including chromosomal scaffolds and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotations for Dolichopus griseipennis.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 897.50 megabases long and includes 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.12 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 12,532 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Dolichopus griseipennis (Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Dolichopodidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 897.50 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.12 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,532 protein-coding genes.
