The first chromosome-level genome assembly of a green lacewing Chrysopa pallens and its implication for biological control

Here we report a high-quality chromosome-level reference genome for a green lacewing species Chrysopa pallens (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), which is one of the most important insect natural enemies used in pest biocontrol. This is also the first published representative genome of Neuropterida at chromosome-level.

本研究报道了大草蛉（Chrysopa pallens，脉翅目Neuroptera：草蛉科Chrysopidae）的高质量染色体级参考基因组（chromosome-level reference genome），该物种是害虫生物防治（pest biocontrol）领域中最为重要的昆虫天敌之一。这也是首个公开发布的染色体级脉翅总目（Neuropterida）代表性基因组。
