Key Points

To present a genome assembly of the solitary wasp Nysson trimaculatus, contributing to the reference genome project for eukaryotic species.
Genome assembly from a female Nysson trimaculatus with two haplotypes.
Haplotype 1 was scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules; haplotype 2 was at scaffold level.
Mitochondrial genome assembled with a length of 25.2 kilobases.
Total genome assembly consists of 301.31 megabases and 403.46 megabases for haplotypes 1 and 2, respectively.
Mitochondrial genome assembly achieved at a length of 25.2 kilobases.
Constructed as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project for eukaryotic species in Britain and Ireland.

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Nysson trimaculatus (solitary wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Crabronidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 301.31 megabases and 403.46 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (86.44%) is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 25.2 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
