The genome sequence of a conopid fly, Thecophora atra (Fabricius, 1775)

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Thecophora atra (a conopid fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Conopidae). The genome sequence is 354.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.3 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 30,620 protein coding genes.
