Mongue, A.J., Ross, L., & Watson, G.W. 2024 The genome sequence of the cottony cushion scale, Icerya purchasi (Maskell, 1879). Wellcome Open Research 9(21): 1-10

Keywords:

  • DNA sequencing
  • genetic structure
  • Notes: We present a genome assembly from an individual hermaphrodite Icerya purchasi (the cottony cushion scale; Arthropoda; Insecta; Hemiptera; Monophlebidae). The genome sequence is 1,098.4 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 2 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.29 kilobases in length.
