Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Nomada fabriciana (Fabricius’ Nomad Bee; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hymenoptera; Apidae). The genome sequence is 233.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.4 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 9,700 protein coding genes.

Background
Fabricius’ Nomad Bee, Nomada fabriciana, is a small nomad bee in the family Apidae. It occurs across the Palaearctic and is common and widespread across the south of the UK, becoming scarcer further north with few records in Scotland and Ireland. Nomada are relatively hairless bees, causing possible confusion with wasps for the inexperienced. Identification of Nomada can be challenging, although N. fabriciana is easily recognised by its small size, dark overall appearance, reddish gaster and the unique combination of a black labrum and bidentate mandibles. Furthermore, females have antennae with a red base and tip with a band of black segments in the middle. The typical form has yellow spots on tergite two, although dark forms occur which lack this along with almost entirely dark legs and antennae.
Nomada are brood parasites of other bees, mainly attacking Andrena although some species are kleptoparasites of other bee genera ( Odanaka et al., 2022). Female Nomad bees can often be seen patrolling and investigating nesting sites of the host. They enter the host nest and lay their own eggs on the wall of unsealed cells. The larvae hatch and proceed to kill the host egg or larva using large, well-developed mandibles, before consuming the pollen provisions ( Rozen Jr, 1991). The main host of N. fabriciana is Andrena bicolor, although other hosts are used including A. angustior, A. chrysosceles, A. flavipes and A. nigroaenea ( Falk & Lewington, 2019). It is likely that the large size variation in the species is determined by the size of the host.
It is associated with a large range of habitats and can be found anywhere that its hosts occur. In the UK it is largely bivoltine with the first flight period from March to June, and the second from June to August ( Else & Edwards, 2018). Adults visit a wide range of flowers for nectar, including dandelion ( Taraxacum sp.), daisy ( Bellis perennis), ragwort ( Senecio jacobaea), field scabious ( Knautia arvensis), speedwell ( Veronica spp.), spurge ( Euphorbia spp.), stitchwort ( Stellaria spp.), strawberry ( Fagaria vesca) and willow ( Salix spp.) ( Else & Edwards, 2018).
This complete genome represents one of the first for the genus, which has important and biological differences to other genera within the Apidae that includes ecologically and economically important species, such as the Honeybee ( Apis mellifera) and bumblebees ( Bombus spp.). As such, this genome will facilitate studies into research areas such as the evolution of kleptoparasitism, sociality and reproductive systems and well as providing useful data for resolving Hymenopteran taxonomy.
Genome sequence report
The genome was sequenced from one female Nomada fabriciana ( Figure 1) collected from Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire, UK (51.77, –1.34). A total of 99-fold coverage in Pacific Biosciences single-molecule HiFi long reads and 154-fold coverage in 10X Genomics read clouds were generated. Primary assembly contigs were scaffolded with chromosome conformation Hi-C data. Manual assembly curation corrected 11 missing joins or mis-joins, reducing the scaffold number by 3.5%, and increasing the scaffold N50 by 22.04%.

The final assembly has a total length of 233.6 Mb in 193 sequence scaffolds with a scaffold N50 of 18.6 Mb ( Table 1). A summary of the assembly statistics is shown in Figure 2, while the distribution of assembly scaffolds on GC proportion and coverage is shown in Figure 3. The cumulative assembly plot in Figure 4 shows curves for subsets of scaffolds assigned to different phyla. Most (95.24%) of the assembly sequence was assigned to 12 chromosomal-level scaffolds. Chromosome-scale scaffolds confirmed by the Hi-C data are named in order of size ( Figure 5; Table 2). The specimen is a diploid female. While not fully phased, the assembly deposited is of one haplotype. Contigs corresponding to the second haplotype have also been deposited. The mitochondrial genome was also assembled and can be found as a contig within the multifasta file of the genome submission.

The BlobToolKit Snailplot shows N50 metrics and BUSCO gene completeness. The main plot is divided into 1,000 size-ordered bins around the circumference with each bin representing 0.1% of the 233,603,770 bp assembly. The distribution of scaffold lengths is shown in dark grey with the plot radius scaled to the longest scaffold present in the assembly (26,420,868 bp, shown in red). Orange and pale-orange arcs show the N50 and N90 scaffold lengths (18,567,632 and 10,996,985 bp), respectively. The pale grey spiral shows the cumulative scaffold count on a log scale with white scale lines showing successive orders of magnitude. The blue and pale-blue area around the outside of the plot shows the distribution of GC, AT and N percentages in the same bins as the inner plot. A summary of complete, fragmented, duplicated and missing BUSCO genes in the hymenoptera_odb10 set is shown in the top right.

Genome annotation report
The Nomada fabriciana genome assembly (GCA_907165295.1) was annotated using the Ensembl rapid annotation pipeline ( Table 1; https://rapid.ensembl.org/Nomada_fabriciana_GCA_907165295.1/Info/Index). The resulting annotation includes 17,002 transcribed mRNAs from 9,700 protein-coding and 1,659 non-coding genes.
Methods
Sample acquisition and nucleic acid extraction
A female Nomada fabriciana (specimen ID Ox000487, ToLID iyNomFabr1) was netted in Wytham Woods, Oxfordshire (biological vice-county Berkshire), UK (latitude 51.77, longitude –1.34) on 2020-06-15. The specimen was collected and identified by Liam Crowley (University of Oxford) and preserved on dry ice.
DNA was extracted at the Tree of Life laboratory, Wellcome Sanger Institute (WSI). The iyNomFabr1 sample was weighed and dissected on dry ice with tissue set aside for Hi-C sequencing. Tissue from the whole organism was disrupted using a Nippi Powermasher fitted with a BioMasher pestle. High molecular weight (HMW) DNA was extracted using the Qiagen MagAttract HMW DNA extraction kit. Low molecular weight DNA was removed from a 20 ng aliquot of extracted DNA using the 0.8X AMpure XP purification kit prior to 10X Chromium sequencing; a minimum of 50 ng DNA was submitted for 10X sequencing. HMW DNA was sheared into an average fragment size of 12–20 kb in a Megaruptor 3 system with speed setting 30. Sheared DNA was purified by solid-phase reversible immobilisation using AMPure PB beads with a 1.8X ratio of beads to sample to remove the shorter fragments and concentrate the DNA sample. The concentration of the sheared and purified DNA was assessed using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer and Qubit Fluorometer and Qubit dsDNA High Sensitivity Assay kit. Fragment size distribution was evaluated by running the sample on the FemtoPulse system.
Sequencing
Pacific Biosciences HiFi circular consensus and 10X Genomics read cloud DNA sequencing libraries were constructed according to the manufacturers’ instructions. DNA sequencing was performed by the Scientific Operations core at the WSI on Pacific Biosciences SEQUEL II (HiFi) and HiSeq X Ten (10X) instruments. Hi-C data were also generated from remaining tissue of iyNomFabr1 using the Arima2 kit and sequenced on the HiSeq X Ten instrument.
Genome assembly, curation and evaluation
Assembly was carried out with Hifiasm ( Cheng et al., 2021) and haplotypic duplication was identified and removed with purge_dups ( Guan et al., 2020). One round of polishing was performed by aligning 10X Genomics read data to the assembly with Long Ranger ALIGN, calling variants with FreeBayes ( Garrison & Marth, 2012). The assembly was then scaffolded with Hi-C data ( Rao et al., 2014) using SALSA2 ( Ghurye et al., 2019). The assembly was checked for contamination and corrected using the gEVAL system ( Chow et al., 2016) as described previously ( Howe et al., 2021). Manual curation was performed using gEVAL, HiGlass ( Kerpedjiev et al., 2018) and Pretext ( Harry, 2022). The mitochondrial genome was assembled using MitoHiFi ( Uliano-Silva et al., 2023), which runs MitoFinder ( Allio et al., 2020) or MITOS ( Bernt et al., 2013) and uses these annotations to select the final mitochondrial contig and to ensure the general quality of the sequence.
A Hi-C map for the final assembly was produced using bwa-mem2 ( Vasimuddin et al., 2019) in the Cooler file format ( Abdennur & Mirny, 2020). To assess the assembly metrics, the k-mer completeness and QV consensus quality values were calculated in Merqury ( Rhie et al., 2020). This work was done using Nextflow ( Di Tommaso et al., 2017) DSL2 pipelines “sanger-tol/readmapping” ( Surana et al., 2023a) and “sanger-tol/genomenote” ( Surana et al., 2023b). The genome was analysed within the BlobToolKit environment ( Challis et al., 2020) and BUSCO scores ( Manni et al., 2021; Simão et al., 2015) were calculated.

Genome annotation
The Ensembl gene annotation system ( Aken et al., 2016) was used to generate annotation for the Nomada fabriciana assembly (GCA_907165295.1). Annotation was created primarily through alignment of transcriptomic data to the genome, with gap filling via protein-to-genome alignments of a select set of proteins from UniProt ( UniProt Consortium, 2019).
