The genome sequence of the Cossus hoverfly, Volucella inflata (Fabricius 1794)

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Volucella inflata (the Cossus hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syrphidae). The genome sequence is 753.5 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.66 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,161 protein coding genes.
