Notes: Assembly statistics were calculated for the primary genome assembly GCA_933666425.1 (CAKOGL01.fna.gz) using Quast (v5.2.0; Mikheenko et al. 2018). Busco statistics (Manni et al., 2021) were taken from Tunstrom et al. (2022). Annotation statistics were calculated using CA_933666425.1_Euphydryas_editha_genomic.gff.gz using AGAT (v1.4.1; Dainat, 2024).

BUSCO notation: C: Complete; S: Single-copy; D: Duplicated; F: Fragmented; M: Missing; n: Total BUSCO genes included in the dataset (here: arthropoda_odb10). See also the official BUSCO manual.
