Ian Sims, Annabel Whibley, Savarimuthu Ignacimuthu, Sivasankaran Kuppusamy
TL;DR
This paper presents the genome sequence of the Common Purple & Gold moth, a key reference for understanding its biology and evolution.
Contribution
The paper provides a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly for Pyrausta purpuralis as part of a broader biodiversity initiative.
Findings
The genome assembly is 837.24 megabases long, with 94.81% scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The mitochondrial genome is 15.31 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
The Z sex chromosome is included in the chromosomal scaffolding.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Pyrausta purpuralis (Common Purple & Gold; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Crambidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 837.24 megabases. Most of the assembly (94.81%) 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.
