The genome sequence of the wood-carving leafcutter bee, Megachile ligniseca (Kirby, 1802).

ABSTRACT

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Megachile ligniseca (the wood-carving leafcutter bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Megachilidae). The genome sequence is 290.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 23.71 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl 11,722 protein coding genes.
