Genome sequencing and assembly strategy for Sciara coprophila. a Images of Sciara coprophila embryos, larvae, pupae, and adults. b Examples of different chromosome compositions in Sciara cells. Red chromosomes are paternal, black are maternal. c Genome assembly workflow. The green circle indicates the cross used for male-only progeny used for genome sequencing. The colored boxes show analogous steps in the different pipelines. The grey boxes name specific metrics and tools used for the category named in the turquoise boxes in the pipeline
