Abstract：
Theretra japonica is an important pollinator and agricultural pest in the family Sphingidae with a wide range of host plants. High-quality genomic resources facilitate investigations into behavioral ecology, morphological and physiological adaptations, and the evolution of genomic architecture. However, chromosome-level genome of T. japonica is still lacking. Here we sequenced and assembled the high-quality genome of T. japonica by combining PacBio long reads, Illumina short reads, and Hi-C data. The genome was contained in 95 scaffolds with an accumulated length of 409.55 Mb (BUSCO calculated a genome completeness of 99.2%). The 29 pseudochromosomes had a combined length of 403.77 Mb, with a mapping rate of 98.59%. The genomic characterisation of T. japonica will contribute to further studies for Sphingidae and Lepidoptera.
摘要：
日本粳稻是一种重要的传粉昆虫和农业害虫，具有广泛的寄主植物。高质量的基因组资源促进了对行为生态学的研究，形态和生理适应，和基因组结构的进化。然而,日本T.japonica的染色体水平基因组仍然缺乏。在这里，我们通过结合PacBio长读数来测序和组装T.japonica的高质量基因组，Illumina短读，和Hi-C数据。基因组包含在95个支架中，累积长度为409.55Mb（BUSCO计算的基因组完整性为99.2％）。29个假染色体的总长度为403.77Mb，作图率为98.59%。T.japonica的基因组特征将有助于进一步研究Sphingidae和鳞翅目。
