Genome of the Lord Howe Island Stick Insect Reveals a Highly Conserved Phasmid X Chromosome.

We present a chromosome-scale genome assembly for Dryococelus australis, a critically endangered Australian phasmid. The assembly, constructed with Pacific Biosciences continuous long reads and chromatin conformation capture (Omni-C) data, is 3.42 Gb in length with a scaffold N50 of 262.
