New WGS data and annotation of the heterosomal vs. autosomal localization of Ostrinia scapulalis (Lepidoptera, Crambidae) nuclear genomic scaffolds.

ABSTRACT: Here, we introduce new whole-genome shotgun sequencing and annotation data describing the autosomal vs. Z-heterosomal localization of nuclear genomic scaffolds of the moth species Ostrinia scapulalis. Four WGS libraries (corresponding to 2 males and 2 females) were sequenced with an Illumina HiSeq2500 sequencing technology, and the so-called 'AD-ratio' method was applied to distinguish between autosomal and Z-heterosomal scaffolds based on sequencing depth comparisons between homogametic (male) and heterogametic (female) libraries. A total of 25,760 scaffolds (corresponding to 341.69 Mb) were labelled as autosomal and 1273 scaffolds (15.29 Mb) were labelled as Z-heterosomal, totaling about 357 Mb. Besides, 4874 scaffolds (29.07 Mb) remain ambiguous because of a lack of
