The genome sequence of the painted lady, Vanessa cardui Linnaeus 1758

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Vanessa cardui (the painted lady; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The genome sequence is 425 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the W and Z sex chromosome assembled. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl has identified 12,821 protein coding genes.Species taxonomy Background Genome sequence report Gene annotation Methods Sample acquisition and nucleic acid extraction Sequencing Genome assembly Ethical/compliance issues Data availability Author information Reference
