Genome assembly reveals chromosomal structure and mitochondrial sequence of Bombus lucorum, implying biodiversity insights.
<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns5:italic>Bombus lucorum</ns5:italic> (White-tailed Bumble Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 360.64 megabases. Most of the assembly (89.39%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 27.23 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. </ns5:p>
