The genome sequence of a plutellid moth, Plutella hyperboreella Strand, 1902 (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

We present a genome assembly from a female specimen of Plutella hyperboreella (Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Plutellidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 503.34 megabases and 426.42 megabases. Most of the haplotype 1 assembly (98.75%) was scaffolded into 31 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 20.67 kilobases. Gene annotation of this assembly by Ensembl identified 12,347 protein-coding genes. This work is part of Project Psyche, a collaborative programme generating genomes for European butterflies and moths.
