## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the cluster fly Pollenia pediculata, including two haplotypes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides a detailed genome assembly of Pollenia pediculata, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,156.86 and 1,222.48 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules covering 99.79% of its sequence.
- The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.82 kilobases.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Pollenia pediculata (cluster fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Polleniidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,156.86 megabases and 1,222.48 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.79%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.82 kilobases.
