The genome sequence of the Suspected, Parastichtis suspecta (Hübner, 1809) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
1University of Oxford, Oxford, England, UK.
Abstract:
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Parastichtis suspecta (Suspected; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 868.84 megabases and 869.52 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (99.8%) is scaffolded into 30 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 15.38 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.
