The genome sequence of the Coltsfoot Fly, Acidia cognata (Wiedemann, 1817) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Acidia cognata (Coltsfoot Fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tephritidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 920.12 megabases and 861.67 megabases. Most of the haplotype 1 assembly (99.4%) was scaffolded into seven chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 18.37 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.
