# The genome sequence of the Cloaked Minor, Mesoligia furuncula (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)

## TL;DR

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

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Mesoligia furuncula.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 889.6 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 21,903 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.3 kilobases in length and was also assembled.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Mesoligia furuncula (the Cloaked Minor; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 889.6 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 15.3 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 21,903 protein coding genes.
