# The genome sequence of the Winter Shade, Tortricodes alternella [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775

## TL;DR

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

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for Tortricodes alternella, including scaffolded chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 441.2 megabases and includes 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.73 kilobases long and fully assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 17,280 protein-coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Tortricodes alternella (the Winter Shade; Arthropoda; None; Lepidoptera; Tortricidae). The genome sequence is 441.2 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 22 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 15.73 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 17,280 protein coding genes.
