Genome assembly of Polietes lardarius reveals gene content and mitochondrial structure, contributing to eukaryotic biodiversity.
<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns5:italic>Polietes lardarius</ns5:italic> (muscid fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Muscidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 380.56 megabases and 1 258.97 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (84.49%) is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 21.54 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 13 684 protein-coding genes. 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>
