Genomic report reveals a 592.10-megabase chromosome-level assembly in Epiblema cirsiana, highlighting chromosomal architecture and sex chromosomes for tortricid moth biology.
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Epiblema cirsiana (Knapweed Bell; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Tortricidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 592.10 megabases and 515.20 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.99%) is scaffolded into 27 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.46 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
