The genome sequence of the Adonis blue, Lysandra bellargus (Rottemburg, 1775) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Lysandra bellargus (the Adonis blue; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Lycaenidae). The genome sequence is 529 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.93%) is scaffolded into 46 chromosomal pseudomolecules with the W and Z sex chromosomes assembled. The complete mitochondrial genome was also assembled and is 15.6 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl has identified 13,249 protein coding genes.
