TL;DR
This paper provides the genome sequence of the Orange Footman moth, including its chromosomal structure and gene annotations.
Contribution
The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Eilema sororcula, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome.
Findings
The genome assembly spans 729.4 megabases with 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
The mitochondrial genome is 15.46 kilobases long and was successfully assembled.
Gene annotation identified 21,093 protein coding genes.
Abstract
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Eilema sororcula (the Orange Footman; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Erebidae). The genome sequence is 729.4 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.46 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 21,093 protein coding genes.
