Project description:We present a genome assembly from an individual male Nomada ruficornis (the fork-jawed nomad bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome sequence is 273.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 16 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 20.66 kilobases in length.
