The genome sequence of a hoverfly, Syrphus vitripennis (Meigen, 1822) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Syrphus vitripennis (a hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 388.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the XY sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 18.33 kilobases in length.
