The genome sequence of the Light Arches, Apamea lithoxylaea (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
1UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Wallingford, England, UK.
Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Apamea lithoxylaea (Light Arches; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 577.73 megabases and 521.26 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (98.15%) is scaffolded into 32 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 16.43 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.

Lampbrush Chromosomes
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops resemble the...
