TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the Purple-edged Copper butterfly, including detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.
Contribution
The study provides a high-quality genome assembly of Lycaena hippothoe, including haplotype-specific and mitochondrial sequences.
Findings
The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 484.25 and 431.80 megabases.
Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including W and Z sex chromosomes.
The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.43 kilobases.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Lycaena hippothoe (Purple-edged Copper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lycaenidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 484.25 megabases and 431.80 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.6%) is scaffolded into 25 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 15.43 kilobases.
