Abstract:
We present a haploid genome assembly from an individual male Andrena scotica (chocolate mining bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 446.96 megabases. Most of the assembly (80.96%) is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 19.68 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
