The genome sequence of the True Lover's Knot moth, Lycophotia porphyrea (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Lycophotia porphyrea (the True Lover’s Knot; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence spans 542.40 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.39 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,907 protein-coding genes.
