Genome sequencing reveals two haplotypes in the fern moth, suggesting insights into Lepidoptera genetics.
<ns3:p>We present a genome assembly from an individual male <ns3:italic>Horisme tersata</ns3:italic> (Fern moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 558.12 megabases and 558.96 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.71%) 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 16.42 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.</ns3:p>
