Abstract
The reference genome of Gluvia dorsalis is the first of its order Solifugae (sun spiders), offering insights into adaptations to arid environments and the evolutionary history of arachnids. The entirety of the genome sequence was assembled into 5 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 787 Mb, composed of 51 contigs and 10 scaffolds (including the mitogenome), with contig and scaffold N50 values of 38 Mb and 199 Mb, respectively.
