# The genome sequence of the Crepuscular Burnet, Zygaena carniolica (Scopoli, 1763) (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Crepuscular Burnet moth, including detailed assemblies of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Zygaena carniolica, including haplotype-specific and sex chromosome scaffolding.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 353.39 and 323.68 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including W and Z sex chromosomes.
- The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.56 kilobases.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of
Zygaena carniolica (Crepuscular Burnet; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Zygaenidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 353.39 megabases and 323.68 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.94%) is scaffolded into 31 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 15.56 kilobases.
