# The genome sequence of the Stable Fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Stable Fly, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first complete genome assembly of the Stable Fly, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 1,070.90 megabases long with 98.96% scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 17.6 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 15,757 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual specimen of
Stomoxys calcitrans (Stable Fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Muscidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,070.90 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.96%) is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.6 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 15,757 protein-coding genes.
