# The genome sequence of an ichneumonid wasp, Gelis areator (Panzer, 1804)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the ichneumonid wasp Gelis areator, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly for Gelis areator, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 228.10 megabases in total length.
- 98.97% of the assembly is organized into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 25.02 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Gelis areator (ichneumonid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 228.10 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.97%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 25.02 kilobases in length.
