Chromosome-level genome assembly and sex chromosome identification of the pink stem borer, Sesamia inferens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Abstract The pink stem borer, Sesamia inferens Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is one of the most notorious pest insects of rice and maize crops in the world. Here, we generated a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of S. inferens, using a combination of Illumina, PacBio HiFi and Hi-C tec...
