The genome sequence of a tephritid fruit fly, Xyphosia miliaria (Schrank, 1781) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Type: article

Abstract: (tephritid fruit fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tephritidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 806.98 megabases and 799.90 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (97.34%) is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. Most of haplotype 2 (83.09%) is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 19.41 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.
