# The genome sequence of the Heart Moth, Dicycla oo (Linnaeus 1758)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Heart Moth, including a detailed assembly and gene annotation.

## Contribution

The study provides the first genome assembly for the Heart Moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 936.7 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 15.29 kilobases long and fully assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 19,564 protein coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual female
Dicycla oo (the Heart Moth; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 936.7 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 15.29 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 19,564 protein coding genes.
