# The genome sequence of an orb-weaver spider, Araneus angulatus Clerck, 1757 (Araneae: Araneidae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the orb-weaver spider Araneus angulatus, including two haplotypes and a mitochondrial genome.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly for Araneus angulatus as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 2,980.91 and 2,941.08 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules covering 94.74% of the assembly.
- The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 14.53 kilobases.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Araneus angulatus (orb-weaver spider; Arthropoda; Arachnida; Araneae; Araneidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 2 980.91 megabases and 2 941.08 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (94.74%) is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 14.53 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
