The genome sequence of the big-headed mining bee, Andrena bucephala (Stephens, 1846) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Andrena bucephala (the Big-headed Mining Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The genome sequence is 379.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.57 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 12,022 protein coding genes.
