## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the ichneumonid wasp Amblyjoppa proteus, including chromosomal and mitochondrial assemblies.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Amblyjoppa proteus, a species in the Hymenoptera order.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 290.11 megabases long with 99.64% scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 30.41 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 12,770 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Amblyjoppa proteus (ichneumonid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 290.11 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.64%) is scaffolded into 9 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 30.41 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,770 protein-coding genes.
