The genome sequence is 731 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.67%) is scaffolded into five chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the X and Y sex chromosomes assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 16.1 kilobases in length.Wellcome open researchThe genome sequence of the dumpy grass hoverfly, <i>Melanostoma mellinum</i> (Linnaeus, 1758).PMC9975431206194218328Wotton KTree of Life Core Informatics collectiveWellcome Sanger Institute Scientific Operations: DNA Pipelines collectiveDarwin Tree of Life Barcoding collectiveDarwin Tree of Life ConsortiumHawkes WWellcome Sanger Institute Tree of Life programmeUniversity of Oxford and Wytham Woods Genome Acquisition LabfalseThe genome sequence of the dumpy grass hoverfly, <i>Melanostoma mellinum</i> (Linnaeus, 1758).We present a genome assembly from an individual male <i>Melanostoma mellinum</i> (the dumpy grass hoverfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Syriphidae).
