Transposable element accumulation drives genome size increase in Hylesia metabus (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), an urticating moth species from South America
{{output}}
We present the first nuclear genome assembly and a complete mitogenome for Hylesia metabus (Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Saturniidae). The assembled nuclear genome sequence is 1,271 Mb long, which is among the 10 largest lepidopteran genome assemblies pub... ...
