The genome sequence of the Clay Triple-lines, Cyclophora linearia (Hübner, 1799) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Clay Triple-lines moth, including two haplotypes and gene annotations, as part of a larger project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.

Contribution

The first reference genome for Cyclophora linearia, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial DNA.

Findings

The genome assembly includes two haplotypes totaling 280.22 and 284.23 megabases.

Haplotype 1 is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome.

Gene annotation identified 11,742 protein-coding genes.

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Cyclophora linearia (Clay Triple-lines; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 280.22 megabases and 284.23 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.9%) is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.54 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11 742 protein-coding genes. 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.
