# The genome sequence of the Grouse Louse Fly, Ornithomya chloropus (Bergroth, 1901)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of the Grouse Louse Fly, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Ornithomya chloropus, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 193.17 megabases long, with 99.94% scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.78 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of
Ornithomya chloropus (Grouse Louse Fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Hippoboscidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 193.17 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.94%) is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.78 kilobases.
