The genome sequence of the drosophilid fruit fly, Drosophila phalerata (Meigen, 1830).

ABSTRACT

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Drosophila phalerata (drosophilid fruit fly, Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Drosophilidae). The genome sequence is 223.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 7 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.14 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 18,973 protein coding genes.
