The genome sequence of the white-footed hoverfly, Platycheirus albimanus (Fabricius, 1781) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Platycheirus albimanus (the white-footed hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 677.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 4 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 18.17 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,568 protein coding genes.
