The genome sequence of the Cotton Bollworm moth, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner, 1808) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an adult female Cotton Bollworm moth, Helicoverpa armigera (Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 362.20 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 15.36 kilobases in length.
