The genome sequence of a soldier fly, <i>Nemotelus pantherinus</i> (Linnaeus, 1758)

We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of <i>Nemotelus pantherinus</i> (soldierfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Stratiomyidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 804.69 megabases. Most of the assembly (95.93%) is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 19.1 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 27,389 protein-coding genes.
