Abstract Background Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) are an important model system in ecology and evolution. A high-quality chromosomal genome assembly is available for the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). but it lacks an in-depth transposable element (TE) annotation. presenting an opportunity to explore monarch TE dynamics and the impact of TEs on shaping the monarch genome. https://herbsdailyes.shop/product-category/utensils-accessories/
