Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Pollenia pediculata (cluster fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Polleniidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,156.86 megabases and 1,222.48 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.79%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.82 kilobases.
