# The genome sequence of the anthomyzid fly, Anthomyza gracilis Fallén, 1823 (Diptera: Anthomyzidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the anthomyzid fly, Anthomyza gracilis, as part of a larger project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality reference genome for the anthomyzid fly, including two haplotypes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 576.40 and 595.67 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is mostly scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.87 kilobases long.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Anthomyza gracilis (anthomyzid fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Anthomyzidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 576.40 megabases and 595.67 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (97.03%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.87 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.
