# The genome sequence of the Dark Arches Apamea monoglypha (Hufnagel, 1766)

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of the Dark Arches moth, including its chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality genome assembly and gene annotation for Apamea monoglypha.

## Key findings

- The genome assembly spans 576 megabases and includes 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
- The mitochondrial genome is 16.5 kilobases long and fully assembled.
- Gene annotation identified 17,963 protein coding genes.

## Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual male
Apamea monoglypha (the Dark Arches, Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). The genome sequence is 576 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including the assembled Z sex chromosome. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.5 kilobases in length. Gene annotation of this assembly on Ensembl has identified 17,963 protein coding genes.
