Hydropsyche Fryeri Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly for Aquatic Insect Research

A 152.94 Mb chromosome-level genome assembly for the caddisfly Hydropsyche fryeri, anchored to 16 pseudochromosomes. The dataset, published by Yujun Wang on figshare in May 2026, contains 9,697 predicted protein-coding genes and was assembled using PacBio HiFi, Hi-C, and Illumina sequencing.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics studies based on the chromosome-level assembly and annotated genes.
• Investigating silk production genetics in Trichoptera based on the genome's functional annotation.
• Evolutionary analysis of aquatic adaptations in insects based on the assembled genome.
• Developing molecular markers for water quality bioassessment based on the species' role as an indicator.

Strengths

• Chromosome-level assembly with a scaffold N50 of 9.23 Mb, indicating high contiguity.
• High functional annotation coverage, with 98.10% of the 9,697 predicted genes annotated.
• High completeness score, with a BUSCO evaluation value of 97.0%.
• Low repetitive content reported at 4.98%.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
