# The genome sequence of the Brown Ash Ermine moth, Zelleria hepariella Stainton, 1849

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Brown Ash Ermine moth, including chromosomal scaffolding and gene annotations.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotations for Zelleria hepariella, including chromosomal pseudomolecules and a mitochondrial genome.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 428.8 megabases and is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.31 kilobases long and was successfully assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 15,718 protein coding genes using Ensembl.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from a male
Zelleria hepariella (the Brown Ash Ermine; Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Yponomeutidae). The genome sequence is 428.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 19 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.31 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl identified 15,718 protein coding genes.
