# The genome sequence of the Mottled Pug, Eupithecia exiguata (Hübner, 1813)

## TL;DR

This paper provides the genome sequence of the Mottled Pug moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly and annotation for Eupithecia exiguata, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and mitochondrial DNA.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 372.9 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- Gene annotation identified 11,194 protein coding genes using Ensembl.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.39 kilobases in length.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Eupithecia exiguata (the Mottled Pug; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Geometridae). The genome sequence is 372.9 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 16.39 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 11,194 protein coding genes.
