The genome sequence of the large tortoiseshell, Nymphalis polychloros (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Nymphalis polychloros (the large tortoiseshell; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The genome sequence is 398 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the W and Z sex chromosome assembled.
