Genome assembly reveals two haplotypes in Lycaena virgaureae, indicating complex genomic structure and sex differentiation.
<ns3:p>We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of <ns3:italic>Lycaena virgaureae</ns3:italic> (Scarce Copper; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lycaenidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 496.02 megabases and 494.61 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.37%) is scaffolded into 24 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 15.5 kilobases.</ns3:p>
