# The genome sequence of a caddisfly, Limnephilus auricula (Curtis, 1834)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the caddisfly Limnephilus auricula, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Limnephilus auricula, including scaffolded chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 971.3 megabases and is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 18.29 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- The Z sex chromosome is included in the chromosomal scaffolding.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Limnephilus auricula (a caddisfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Trichoptera; Limnephilidae). The genome sequence is 971.3 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 18.29 kilobases in length.
