The genome sequence of a picture-winged fly, Melieria picta (Meigen, 1826) (Diptera: Ulidiidae)
Ryan Mitchell, Teodora Staykova, Mireille Steck

TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the picture-winged fly, Melieria picta, including two haplotypes and the mitochondrial genome.
Contribution
The study provides a high-quality reference genome for Melieria picta as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project.
Findings
The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with total lengths of 423.82 and 429.48 megabases.
Haplotype 1 is mostly scaffolded into 4 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X chromosome.
The mitochondrial genome is 15.78 kilobases in length.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Melieria picta (picture-winged fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Ulidiidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 423.82 megabases and 429.48 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.49%) is scaffolded into 4 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.78 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.
