TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the Purple-shot Copper butterfly, including detailed assemblies of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.
Contribution
The study provides a high-quality genome assembly with scaffolded chromosomal pseudomolecules for Lycaena alciphron.
Findings
The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 497.93 and 461.30 megabases.
Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 25 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including sex chromosomes W and Z.
The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.32 kilobases.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Lycaena alciphron (Purple-shot Copper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lycaenidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 497.93 megabases and 461.30 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.62%) 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 15.32 kilobases.
