TL;DR
The Purple Cloud moth's genome is sequenced, including sex chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA, as part of a larger project on European Lepidoptera.
Contribution
The first genome assembly of Actinotia polyodon, including two haplotypes and mitochondrial DNA.
Findings
The genome assembly includes two haplotypes with lengths of 686.76 and 626.61 megabases.
Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including W and Z sex chromosomes.
The mitochondrial genome is assembled with a length of 15.36 kilobases.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Actinotia polyodon (Purple Cloud; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 686.76 megabases and 626.61 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.78%) is scaffolded into 32 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 15.36 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths.
