# The genome sequence of a lauxanid fly, Meiosimyza decipiens (Loew, 1847)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of a lauxanid fly, Meiosimyza decipiens, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Meiosimyza decipiens, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 436.39 megabases long.
- 99.68% of the assembly is organized into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.39 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male
Meiosimyza decipiens (fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Lauxaniidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 436.39 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.68%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.39 kilobases in length.
