The genome sequence of the holly blue, Celastrina argiolus (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Celastrina argiolus) (the holly blue; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lycaenidae). The genome sequence is 499 megabases in span. The majority (99.99%) of the assembly is scaffolded into 26 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the Z sex chromosome assembled. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl has identified 12,199 protein coding genes.
