The genome sequence of a hoverfly, Merodon equestris (Fabricius, 1794) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Merodon equestris (hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 873.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.95 kilobases in length.
