Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Charaxes jasius (Two-tailed Pasha; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 465.23 megabases and 401.60 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.91%) is scaffolded into 26 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 15.3 kilobases. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths.
