# The genome sequence of the Wainscot Smudge, Ypsolopha scabrella (Linnaeus, 1761)

## TL;DR

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

## Contribution

The study presents a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Ypsolopha scabrella.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 853.6 megabases and is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.7 kilobases long.
- Gene annotation identified 20,594 protein-coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Ypsolopha scabrella (the Wainscot Smudge; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Ypsolophidae). The genome sequence is 853.6 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 16.7 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 20,594 protein coding genes.
