# The genome sequence of the Grey Poplar Bell, Epinotia nisella (Clerck, 1759)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Grey Poplar Bell, a species of moth, including its chromosomal structure and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Epinotia nisella, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 585.0 megabases and is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.44 kilobases long and was successfully assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 18,952 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Epinotia nisella (the Grey Poplar Bell; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Tortricidae). The genome sequence is 585.0 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.44 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 18,952 protein coding genes.
