Abstract
<ns4:p> We present a genome assembly from an individual female <ns4:italic>Vanessa cardui</ns4:italic> (the painted lady; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Nymphalidae). The genome sequence is 425 megabases in span. The majority of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, with the W and Z sex chromosome assembled. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl has identified 12,821 protein coding genes. </ns4:p>
