Chromosome-level genome assembly of Oriental chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus)

In this study, we used PacBio long reads, Illumina short reads, and Hi-C sequencing data to construct a chromosome level of D. kuriphilus genome. The assembled genome includes 14,729 contigs with a total length of 2.28 Gb, a contig N50 of 0.8 Mb. With Hi-C technology, 2.17 Gb (95.02%) of contigs was anchored and oriented into the 10 pseudochromosomes with the N50 of 198.8 Mb and the N90 of 158.8 Mb.
