# The genome sequence of the Light Emerald, Campaea margaritaria (Linnaeus, 1761)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Light Emerald moth, including its chromosomal structure and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The paper provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for the Light Emerald moth.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 335.2 megabases and is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 16,403 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.9 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Campaea margaritaria (the Light Emerald; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 335.2 megabases in span. The whole assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.9 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 16,403 protein coding genes.
