The genome sequence of the Grey-patched Mining Bee, Andrena nitida (Müller, 1776) (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We present a genome assembly from an individual female Andrena nitida (Grey-patched Mining Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Andrenidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 341.15 megabases. Most of the assembly (86.71%) is scaffolded into 4 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 20.41 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.
