The genome sequence of the Nut-tree Tussock moth, Colocasia coryli (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Nut-tree Tussock moth, including a detailed assembly of its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

Contribution

The paper provides a high-quality reference genome for Colocasia coryli, including scaffolded chromosomal pseudomolecules and the mitochondrial genome.

Findings

The genome assembly is 768.61 megabases long, with 99.73% scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.

The mitochondrial genome is 15.31 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.

The genome was sequenced as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project focusing on species from Britain and Ireland.

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Colocasia coryli (Nut-tree Tussock; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 768.61 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.73%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 15.31 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.
