Abstract
Megachile is one of the largest bee genera, including nearly 1,500 species, but very few chromosome-level assemblies exist for this group or the family Megachilidae. Here, we report the chromosome-level genome assembly of Megachile lagopoda collected from Xizang, China. Using PacBio CLR long reads and Hi-C data, we assembled a genome of 256.83 Mb with 96.08% of the assembly located on 16 chromosomes. Our assembly contains 266 scaffolds, with a scaffold N50 length of 15.6 Mb, and BUSCO completeness of 99.20%. We masked 27.10% (69.61 Mb) of the assembly as repetitive elements, identified 459 non-coding RNAs, and predicted 11,157 protein-coding genes. This high-quality genome of M. lagopoda represents an important step forward for our knowledge of megachilid genomics and bee evolution overall.
期刊介绍:
Scientific Data is an open-access journal focused on data, publishing descriptions of research datasets and articles on data sharing across natural sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Its goal is to enhance the sharing and reuse of scientific data, encourage broader data sharing, and acknowledge those who share their data.
The journal primarily publishes Data Descriptors, which offer detailed descriptions of research datasets, including data collection methods and technical analyses validating data quality. These descriptors aim to facilitate data reuse rather than testing hypotheses or presenting new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses.
