# The genome sequence of the black scavenger fly, Nemopoda nitidula (Fallén, 1820)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the black scavenger fly, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

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

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 178.40 megabases long with 99.2% scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.98 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual specimen of
Nemopoda nitidula (Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Sepsidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 178.40 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.2%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.98 kilobases in length.
