Genome assembly reveals chromosome and mitochondrial details in Aethalura punctulata, suggesting insights for Lepidoptera evolution.
<ns3:p> We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of <ns3:italic>Aethalura punctulata</ns3:italic> (Grey Birch; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 645.42 megabases and 643.14 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.87%) is scaffolded into 31 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 17.83 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths. </ns3:p>
