The genome sequence of the Scalloped Hook-tip moth, Falcaria lacertinaria (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Falcaria lacertinaria (the Scalloped Hook-tip; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Drepanidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 300.20 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the W and Z sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.07 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,709 protein-coding genes.
