# The genome sequence of the Chevron, Eulithis testata (Linnaeus, 1761)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Chevron moth, including 308.1 megabases of DNA and annotations for over 16,000 genes.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for the Chevron moth, Eulithis testata.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 308.1 megabases and is scaffolded into 30 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 16,167 protein coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.9 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Eulithis testata (the Chevron; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 308.1 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 15.9 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 16,167 protein coding genes.
