# The genome sequence of the White-point, Mythimna albipuncta (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the White-point moth, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for the White-point moth.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 698.6 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 13,679 protein coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.38 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Mythimna albipuncta (the White-point; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 698.6 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 15.38 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 13,679 protein coding genes.
