Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female Colias crocea (also known as Colias croceus; the clouded yellow; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Pieridae). The genome sequence is 325 megabases in span. The complete assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the W and Z sex chromosome assembled. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl has identified 13,803 protein coding genes.

Keywords: Colias crocea; Colias croceus; chromosomal; clouded yellow; genome sequence.
