Genome assembly reveals the chromosomal structure of a spear-winged fly, highlighting evolutionary insights.
<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns5:italic>Lonchoptera lutea</ns5:italic> (spear-winged fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Lonchopteridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 406.20 megabases. The genome sequence is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.35 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>
