The genome sequence of a muscid fly, Polietes domitor (Harris, 1780).

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Polietes domitor (muscid fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Muscidae). The genome sequence is 1,043.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 6 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.95 kilobases in length.
