The genome sequence of the kissing bug, Triatoma infestans (Klug, 1834) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns3:italic>Triatoma infestans</ns3:italic> (kissing bug; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hemiptera; Reduviidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 411.12 megabases and 1 199.34 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (84.29%) is scaffolded into 12 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X and Y sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 17.05 kilobases. </ns3:p>
