High-quality whole genome data of Hippotion velox

We sequenced and assembled the whole genome of <i>Hippotion velox</i> using the Cyclone platform. The initial assembly generated by Canu was subsequently processed with Purge_haplogs to eliminated redundancies, producing a final genome size of 816.16 Mb and a contig N50 of 46.,41 kb. For genome annotation, we integrated evidence from transcriptome data, homology-based comparisons, and <i>de novo</i> gene prediction methods, resulting in a comprehensive set of protein-coding gene models. This complete genomic dataset, including both the assembly and annotation, has been deposited in the China National GeneBank DataBase (CNGBdb) under accession number CNA0505689. The corresponding raw sequencing data are accessible under accession CNP0007417. The availability of the <i>Hippotion velox genome offers a crucial resource for evolutionary comparisons within the Sphingidae family and broader studies on Lepidoptera genome biology.</i>
