# The genome sequence of the Minor Shoulder-knot, Brachylomia viminalis (Fabricius, 1777)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Minor Shoulder-knot moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first genome assembly of Brachylomia viminalis, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly is 782.2 megabases long and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.15 kilobases in length.
- Gene annotation identified 20,191 protein coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Brachylomia viminalis (the Minor Shoulder-knot; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 782.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.15 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 20,191 protein coding genes.
