The genome sequence of the lesser worm flesh fly, Sarcophaga (Sarcophaga) subvicina Rohdendorf, 1937

<ns4:p>We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns4:italic>Sarcophaga subvicina</ns4:italic> (the lesser worm flesh fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Sarcophagidae). The genome sequence is 71 megabases in span. Most of the assembly (95.91%) is scaffolded into six chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X sex chromosome assembled. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.7 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 16,793 protein coding genes.</ns4:p>
