We present a genome assembly from an individual female Sciapus platypterus (long-legged fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Dolichopodidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1 000.09 megabases. Most of the assembly (98.16%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.64 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
Crowley et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
