Abstract:

"We present a genome assembly from an individual male Deilephila porcellus (the small elephant hawk moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Sphingidae). The genome sequence is 402 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly (99.99%) is scaffolded into 29 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the Z sex chromosome assembled."
