# The genome sequence of an ichneumonid wasp, Apaeleticus inimicus (Gravenhorst, 1820) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the ichneumonid wasp Apaeleticus inimicus, providing insights into its genetic makeup.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Apaeleticus inimicus, including two haplotypes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 224.01 and 221.54 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is mostly scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 30.84 kilobases long.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Apaeleticus inimicus (ichneumonid wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 224.01 megabases and 221.54 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.81%) is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 30.84 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.
