# The genome sequence of the Cranberry Fritillary, Boloria aquilonaris (Stichel, 1908) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Cranberry Fritillary butterfly, including detailed assemblies of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly with scaffolded chromosomal pseudomolecules for Boloria aquilonaris.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes totaling 415.84 and 390.14 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including sex chromosomes.
- The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.17 kilobases.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Boloria aquilonaris (Cranberry Fritillary; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 415.84 megabases and 390.14 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.86%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.17 kilobases.
