Genome assembly reveals two haplotypes of the muscid fly Hydrotaea similis, suggesting biodiversity insights in Britain and Ireland.
<ns5:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns5:italic>Hydrotaea similis</ns5:italic> (muscid fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Muscidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 884.66 megabases and 852.78 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (90.83%) is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 20.27 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>
