TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the False Heath Fritillary butterfly, including detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.
Contribution
The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Melitaea diamina, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.
Findings
The genome assembly includes two haplotypes totaling approximately 578 megabases each.
Haplotype 1 is mostly scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome.
The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.17 kilobases.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Melitaea diamina (False Heath Fritillary; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 578.08 megabases and 578.44 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.87%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.17 kilobases.
