# The genome sequence of the Large Red Tailed Bumble Bee, Bombus lapidarius (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Large Red Tailed Bumble Bee, Bombus lapidarius, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly for Bombus lapidarius, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 368.50 megabases in total length.
- 81.04% of the assembly is organized into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 28.11 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female specimen of
Bombus lapidarius (Large Red Tailed Bumble Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 368.50 megabases. Most of the assembly (81.04%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 28.11 kilobases in length.
