The genome sequence of a tephritid fruit fly, Merzomyia westermanni Meigen 1826 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Merzomyia westermanni (a tephritid fruit fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tephritidae). The genome sequence spans 986.20 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.45 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 25,765 protein-coding genes.
