Contarinia nasturtii life stages (A) and comparison of continuity and completeness of the C. nasturtii (left) and M. destructor (right, Zhao et al. 2015) genome assemblies (B). (A): Adult male C. nasturtii (scale bar indicates 500 µm) (left); damage to canola, Brassica napus L. (va. AC Excel) caused by C. nastrurtii larval feeding (middle); and C. nasturtii larva (right). (B): Plots consist of scaffolds indicated by red and grey sections, sorted by descending length along the radius of each plot. The radius of each plot represents scaffold length with the scale marked at the vertical position (0%). The circumference of each plot (and percentage scale along the outside) indicates the percentage of the genome assembled into cumulative scaffolds, with N90, N50, and the longest scaffold indicated by light orange, dark orange, and red, respectively. Blue and light blue along the circumference represent relative GC/AT content. The cumulative number of scaffolds within a fraction of the genome is indicated by a purple spiral following the radial scale in thousands. Scaffolds of <1,000 bp were removed from the M. destructor assembly to match that of the C. nasturtii assembly. Complete (Comp.), duplicated (Dup.), and fragmented (Frag.) BUSCO annotations and assembly statistics are provided below.
