The genome sequence of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles funestus, Giles, 1900

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female <i>Anopheles funestus</i> (the malaria mosquito; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Culicidae). The genome sequence is 251 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into three chromosomal pseudomolecules with the X sex chromosome assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 15.4 kilobases in length.
