The genome sequence of the Marbled White Spot, Protodeltote pygarga (Hufnagel, 1766) [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Protodeltote pygarga (the Marbled White Spot; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 421.1 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.48 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,784 protein coding genes.
