Genome report: chromosome-scale genome assembly of the olive fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae).

ABSTRACT: The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a specialist of Olea fruits and is a major pest of commercial olives due to their adverse impacts to fruit quality. In support of genomic and physiological research of the olive fly, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated 2 independent genomes: one from a wild-collected male and one from a wild-collected female. The resulting genomes are highly contiguous, collinear, and complete, attesting to the accuracy and quality of both assemblies. In addition to the autosomes captured as single contigs, the X and Y chromosomes were also identified as evidenced by the X chromosome showing diploid coverage in the female assembly compared to haploid coverage in the male assembly and the Y chromosome being entirely absent from the
