Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Geomyza tripunctata (opomyzid fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Opomyzidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 223.30 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.67%) is scaffolded into 3 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.03 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
