Abstract / Description of output

We present genome assemblies from a male and female Pieris napi (the green-veined white; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Pieridae). The genome sequences of the male and female are 320 and 319 megabases in span, respectively. The majority of the assembly (99.79% of the male assembly, 99.88% of the female) is scaffolded into 24 autosomal pseudomolecules, with the Z sex chromosome assembled for the male and Z and W chromosomes assembled for the female. Gene annotation of the male assembly on Ensembl has identified 13,221 protein coding genes.
