# The genome sequence of the Large Red Damselfly Pyrrhosoma nymphula (Sulzer, 1776)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Large Red Damselfly, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly for Pyrrhosoma nymphula, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 2,117.2 megabases and is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.78 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Pyrrhosoma nymphula (the Large Red Damselfly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Odonata; Coenagrionidae). The genome sequence is 2,117.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 14 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.78 kilobases in length.
