Douglas Boyes, Clare Boyes, Yu-Feng Huang, Arun Arumugaperumal, Axel Künstner

TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the Yellow-barred Brindle butterfly, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA, as part of a larger project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.
Contribution
The paper provides a high-quality reference genome for Acasis viretata, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.
Findings
The genome assembly is 297.68 megabases long, with 99.98% scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The mitochondrial genome is 16.01 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
The work is part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which aims to sequence eukaryotic species in Britain and Ireland.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Acasis viretata (Yellow-barred Brindle; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 297.68 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.98%) is scaffolded into 17 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.01 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
