# The genome sequence of the Coxcomb Prominent, Ptilodon capucinus (Linnaeus, 1758)

## TL;DR

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

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Ptilodon capucinus.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 348.7 megabases and is organized into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.38 kilobases long and was also assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 16,968 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Ptilodon capucinus (the Coxcomb Prominent; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Notodontidae). The genome sequence is 348.7 megabases in span. The assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.38 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 16,968 protein coding genes.
