Moth fly (Clogmia albipunctata)
They are called moth flies because of the conspicuous hairs on their wings that are easily shed like the scales of moth wings! Read more about moth flies on BugGuide website.

Chromosome-length genome assembly
Download the clogmia.6_HiC.fasta.gz file containing the chromosome-length (2n=12) assembly of the moth fly genome. All modifications with respect to the draft (see below) are annotated in the clogmia.6_HiC.assembly file. Some basic stats associated with the new reference, clogmia.6_HiC, are listed below. The full data release can be explored here. Note that chromosome-length genome assembly based on another draft is available for this species, here.
Contig length (bp) | Number of contigs | Contig N50 (bp) | Longest contig (bp) |
---|---|---|---|
326,496,817 | 256,176 | 19,169 | 318,604 |
Scaffold length (bp) | Number of scaffolds | Scaffold N50 (bp) | Longest scaffold (bp) |
---|---|---|---|

Draft
The chromosome-length genome assembly is based on the draft assembly clogmia.6, credited below.
The draft assembly was generated at EMBL/CRG Research Unit in Systems Biology, Barcelona (Spain) by Johannes ("Yogi") Jaeger, Eva Jimenez Guri, Luca Cozzuto, Toni Hermoso Pulido and Karl Wotton, from late stage embryos extracted and allowed to develop, from multiple females. The draft assembly was funded by institutional funds to J. Jaeger and has not been published. For questions about this assembly contact Karl Wotton at k.r.wotton@exeter.ac.uk.
Method
3D Assembly was performed using 3D-DNA pipeline (Dudchenko et al., Science, 2017). The genome was reviewed using Juicebox Assembly Tools (Dudchenko et al., bioRxiv, 2018). See Methods for more information.
Hi-C sample
The insect sample for in situ Hi-C preparation was provided to us by Urs Schmidt-Ott at the University of Chicago. Funding for the Hi-C analysis was provided by the University of Chicago to Urs Schmidt-Ott.
Hi-C Contact maps
Hi-C data was aligned to the draft reference using Juicer (Durand, Shamim et al., Cell Systems, 2016), and contact maps visualizing the alignments with respect to the draft and the new reference were built using 3D-DNA (Dudchenko et al., Science, 2017). The contact maps can be explored below via Juicebox.js interactive tool (Robinson et al., Cell Systems, 2018). To explore the assembly in greater detail, please download the .hic and .assembly files from the data release folder and use Juicebox Assembly Tools (Dudchenko et al., bioRxiv, 2018).
