Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Clistopyga incitator (an ichneumon wasp; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Ichneumonidae). The genome sequence is 260.7 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 25.0 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Clistopyga incitator; Hymenoptera; chromosomal; genome sequence; ichneumon wasp.

The BlobToolKit Snailplot shows N50 metrics and BUSCO gene completeness. The main plot is divided into 1,000 size-ordered bins around the circumference with each bin representing 0.1% of the 260,700,937 bp assembly. The distribution of scaffold lengths is shown in dark grey with the plot radius scaled to the longest scaffold present in the assembly (19,385,043 bp, shown in red). Orange and pale-orange arcs show the N50 and N90 scaffold lengths (13,682,479 and 9,078,478 bp), respectively. The pale grey spiral shows the cumulative scaffold count on a log scale with white scale lines showing successive orders of magnitude. The blue and pale-blue area around the outside of the plot shows the distribution of GC, AT and N percentages in the same bins as the inner plot. A summary of complete, fragmented, duplicated and missing BUSCO genes in the hymenoptera_odb10 set is shown in the top right.

Scaffolds are coloured by phylum. Circles are sized in proportion to scaffold length. Histograms show the distribution of scaffold length sum along each axis. An interactive version of this figure is available at https://blobtoolkit.genomehubs.org/view/iyCliInci1.1/dataset/CANNPW01/blob.

Figure 4.. Genome assembly of Clistopyga incitator, iyCliInci1.1: BlobToolKit cumulative sequence plot.
The grey line shows cumulative length for all scaffolds. Coloured lines show cumulative lengths of scaffolds assigned to each phylum using the buscogenes taxrule. An interactive version of this figure is available at https://blobtoolkit.genomehubs.org/view/iyCliInci1.1/dataset/CANNPW01/cumulative.
