The Forcipomyia taiwana genome assembly version 2
Bloodsucking midges from the Forcipomyia genus are mainly found in tropical and subtropical areas. While there is limited genomic data for ceratopogonid biting midges, our goal was to develop a high-quality draft genome for F. taiwana. We utilized  PacBio ultra-low input library construction combined with HiFi sequencing. The assembly resulted in a F. taiwana genome 2.0 and featured a longer maximum scaffold length and higher N50 value, achieved with fewer scaffolds.
