TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the hoverfly Brachypalpoides lentus, including detailed assemblies of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.
Contribution
The novel contribution is the first reference genome assembly for Brachypalpoides lentus, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.
Findings
The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,315.37 and 1,154.75 megabases.
Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including X and Y sex chromosomes.
The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.88 kilobases.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Brachypalpoides lentus (hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 315.37 megabases and 1 154.75 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (95.66%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.88 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
