TL;DR
This paper provides the genome sequence of the Garden Tiger moth, including two haplotypes and a mitochondrial genome.
Contribution
The novel contribution is the high-quality genome assembly of Arctia caja, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial DNA.
Findings
The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with total lengths of 700.59 and 699.20 megabases.
Haplotype 1 is mostly scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome.
The mitochondrial genome is 15.41 kilobases in length.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Arctia caja (Garden Tiger; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Erebidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 700.59 megabases and 699.20 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.63%) 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 15.41 kilobases.
