Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female thistle gall fly, Urophora cardui (Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Tephritidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 837.80 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.37 kilobases in length.

Data Availability Statement

European Nucleotide Archive: Urophora cardui (thistle gall fly). Accession number PRJEB62614; https://identifiers.org/ena.embl/PRJEB62614 (Wellcome Sanger Institute, 2024). The genome sequence is released openly for reuse. The Urophora cardui genome sequencing initiative is part of the Darwin Tree of Life (DToL) project. All raw sequence data and the assembly have been deposited in INSDC databases. The genome will be annotated using available RNA-Seq data and presented through the Ensembl pipeline at the European Bioinformatics Institute. Raw data and assembly accession identifiers are reported in Table 1 and Table 2.
