# The genome sequence of the July Highflyer, Hydriomena furcata (Thunberg, 1784)

## TL;DR

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

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Hydriomena furcata.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 423.3 megabases and includes 28 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.89 kilobases long and was fully assembled.
- Ensembl identified 17,324 protein-coding genes in the genome.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Hydriomena furcata (the July Highflyer; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 423.3 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 15.89 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,324 protein coding genes.
