<p>The flesh fly, <i>Sarcophaga bullata,</i> is a widely-used
model for examining the physiology of insect diapause, development, stress
tolerance, neurobiology, and host-parasitoid interactions. Flies in this taxon
are implicated in myiasis (larval infection of vertebrates) and feed on
carrion, aspects that are important in forensic
studies. Here we present the genome of <i>S. bullata</i>, along with developmental- and
reproduction-based RNA-seq analyses. We predict 15,768 protein coding genes,
identify orthology in relation to closely related flies, and establish sex and
developmental-specific gene sets based on our RNA-seq analyses. Genomic
sequences, predicted genes, and sequencing data sets have been deposited at the
National Center for Biotechnology Information. Our results provide groundwork
for genomic studies that will expand the fly’s utility as a model. </p>
