# The genome sequence of the Bicolour Sedge, Triaenodes bicolor (Curtis, 1834) (Trichoptera: Leptoceridae)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Bicolour Sedge, a species of insect, as part of a larger project to sequence species in Britain and Ireland.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly of Triaenodes bicolor, including haplotype and mitochondrial sequences.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly includes two haplotypes totaling 615.75 and 613.86 megabases.
- Haplotype 1 is mostly scaffolded into 21 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.2 kilobases long.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Triaenodes bicolor (Bicolour Sedge; Arthropoda; Insecta; Trichoptera; Leptoceridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 615.75 megabases and 613.86 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.48%) is scaffolded into 21 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 16.2 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.
