We present a genome assembly from an individual female Anopheles
gambiae (the malaria mosquito; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera;
Culicidae), Ifakara strain. The genome sequence is 264 megabases in
span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into three chromosomal
pseudomolecules with the X sex chromosome assembled. The complete
mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 15.4 kilobases in length.
