Genomics
The first chromosome-level genome assembly of Diptychus maculatus was published in 2026. The genome is approximately 1.79 Gb in size, with 90.68% of the assembly anchored into 49 pseudo-chromosomes. The assembly has a BUSCO completeness score of 99.3%, and 60,481 protein-coding genes were predicted.[5]
