To present a complete genome assembly of Zerynthia rumina, encompassing both haplotypes and mitochondrial DNA.
Assembly of two haplotypes from a female specimen
Characterization of chromosomal pseudomolecules
Scaffolding of mitochondrial genome
Haplotype 1 consists of 852.84 megabases, structured into 31 pseudomolecules
Haplotype 2 has a length of 775.60 megabases, scaffolded to lower precision
Mitochondrial genome measures 15.26 kilobases in length
