The genome sequence of a window fly, <i>Scenopinus jerei</i> Pohjoismäki & Haarto, 2021 (Diptera: Scenopinidae)

We present a genome assembly from an individual male <i>Scenopinus jerei</i> (window fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Scenopinidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 345.25 megabases and 232.44 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (94.85%) is scaffolded into 5 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.52 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.
