# The genome sequence of the furrow orbweaver, Larinioides cornutus (Clerck, 1757)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the furrow orbweaver spider, including detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly of Larinioides cornutus, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes totaling over 4.5 gigabases.
- Haplotype 1 is largely scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules including X1 and X2 sex chromosomes.
- The mitochondrial genome was assembled with a length of 14.6 kilobases.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Larinioides cornutus (furrow orbweaver; Arthropoda; Arachnida; Araneae; Araneidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 2,304.58 megabases and 2,295.32 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.49%) is scaffolded into 13 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the X
1 and X
2 sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 14.6 kilobases.
