The genome sequence of the Bordered Straw, Heliothis peltigera (Denis & Schiffermüller) 1775 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Heliothis peltigera (the Bordered Straw; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 332.8 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 15.3 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,114 protein coding genes.
