Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual male ichneumonid wasp, Pimpla contemplator (Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 270.30 megabases. Most of the assembly (92.24%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 27.79 kilobases in length.

02:40Pollination and Flower Structure
Flowers are the reproductive, seed-producing structures of angiosperms. Typically, flowers consist of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Sepals and petals are the vegetative flower organs. Stamens and carpels are the reproductive organs.
02:02Cis-regulatory Sequences
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...
