Chromosome-level genome assembly of Ampulex clypecomplana Chen & Li (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae).

ABSTRACT: Ampulex clypecomplana Chen & Li, 2010 (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae) is an important predatory insect in Hymenoptera. However, molecular information about this predatory insect is currently limited. In this study, we employed ONT long-read sequencing, MGI-SEQ short-read sequencing, Hi-C sequencing and transcriptomic data to assemble the high-quality genome of A. clypecomplana. The genome assembly length was 338.43 Mb, with a Scaffold N50 length of 19.05 Mb. Our BUSCO analysis further confirmed the gene coverage completeness of the genome assembly to be 99.2%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that A. clypecomplana appeared approximately 132 million years ago. We annotated 110.75 Mb of repetitive sequences, accounting for 32.72% of the entire genome. In A. clypecomplana, we identified 180 gene ex
