Megaselia abdita breed:Sander Genome sequencing and assembly. Megaselia abdita strain:Sander

We generated a de novo reference genome from a laboratory culture (Sander lab strain) of Megaselia abdita inbred for 10 generations. We collected and snap-froze ~600 dechorionated embryos for HiFi PacBio sequencing. We also collected and snap-froze an additional ~600-700 dechorionated embryos and ~60 young pupae in liquid nitrogen from the same inbred line for Omni-C Library preparation and sequencing. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeqX platform, targeting ~30x coverage.
