# The genome sequence of the Heath Knot-horn, Apomyelois bistriatella (Hulst, 1887)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Heath Knot-horn moth, including its chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for the Heath Knot-horn, including scaffolded chromosomes and the mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 389.6 megabases and is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.2 kilobases in length and has been fully assembled.
- The Z and W sex chromosomes are included in the chromosomal scaffolding.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Apomyelois bistriatella (the Heath Knot-horn; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Pyralidae). The genome sequence is 389.6 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z and W sex chromosomes. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.2 kilobases in length.
